So I’m in the market for a new bike with an end goal of having 1 go anywhere do just about anything bike. I ended up setting my criteria at: 140-160mm of travel, 650b, DW link and a trail/all-mountain geometry. This has led me to the turner burner.
I have come down to a size dilemma as I seem to always do being 5’ 10.25” with a 33.125” inseam (barefoot). Living in north Texas we don’t have a lot of demo days to try new bikes so I have mostly been going off the numbers and online reviews. I took some time and made a graph that overlaps a bunch of frames, but not sure anyone else here would really be interested in going through all that; basically the medium burner seems to fall in line with large sizes of similar trail bikes, yet it is still rated per the site for the medium height (5’6” to 5’10”) rider.
I feel like my current bike (Tallboy C) is just a little too big for me length wise, but I like the stack height (ETT of 24”, stack of 24.1”, reach of 16.6” and a 60mm stem). For the burner, this puts me either on a large with a 35-40 mm stem and 20-30 mm of spacers, or a medium with a 60-70mm stem and 40-60mm of spacers.
Not really sure which way to go on this one, does anyone my size have any feedback?
