Strengths:    THIS BIKE DOES IT ALL!!!! I'M SO IMPRESSED WITH IT I EVEN LET FELLOW COMPETITORS RIDE IT AROUND THE PITS. iT'S THE BEST "HEAVY" PEDALER I'VE EVER RIDEN. IT IS USER FRIENDLY, LOW STAND OVER HEIGHT, STEERS PREDICTABLY, AND IS STABLE AT SPEEDS

Weaknesses:    HAVEN'T FOUND ANY YET

Bottom Line:   
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG BY CHOOSING THIS BIKE, THE TURNER RFX IA AN ALL PURPOSE EXTREME RIDE THAT TAKES EVERYTHING YOU CAN THROW AT IT AND COMES BACK FOR MORE.

This frame is expensive. One ride shows you why. It's great. You can't really say any more than that!

Date Reviewed: April 30, 1999

Strengths:    
Build quality
Handling
Just about everthing


Weaknesses:    
There aint none


Bottom Line:   
Build qaulity is up to the usual Turner standard,namely SUPERB!!
The great thing about the RFX is that you can ride UP hills in order to hammer downhill. The bike climbs well and it's supple suspension gives good traction on roots allowing steep inclines to be ridden without undue slippage.
The long travel and solid build keeps the tyres tracking over everthing, giving loads of grip allowing tighter lines through corners making 'single track' an absolute joy.
The RFX is smooth and stable at speed and on steep technical rocky and rooty downhills the geometry allows direction changes ruts with complete confidence. The RFX inspires you to look for more challenging descents.
After such praise you would be forgiven for thinking I'm related to the Turners-I'm not.
Great,great bike.
