Building American made suspension mountain bikes since 1994, Turner Suspension Bikes has been at the forefront of suspension mountain bike technologies for one very important reason. . . because we ride what we build. We simply design and build suspension mountain bikes that are meant to be ridden hard, purely because we prefer riding our bikes over fixing them. The way we see it - a suspension mountain bike should be able to ride through the mud without destroying the pivot bearings, it should be able to effortlessly ride on the side of a rut and then not chatter over a series of roots down the trail, it should inspire confidence with speed and encourage you to pedal up that next climb without a second thought, and it should have a company behind it that is willing to back up every claim with excellent customer service when you need it most. Performing and enduring is what every Turner suspension mountain bike was born to do.

Turner Bikes at the 2013 Sea Otter Classic: Introducing The Czar

We just got back from the 2013 Sea Otter Classic, and to say the least, it was as big as ever. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled over the next couple months for more sneak peeks of the Czar. The media and spectators alike where all over our new XC Racer!

The word so far is above our expectations. . . . The Czar is yet another Turner to raise the bar when it comes to how a mountain bike should ride!

Turner Bicycles Debuts the Czar Carbon Mountain Bike

Murietta, Calif. (April 16, 2013) – High performance bicycle designer and manufacturer Turner Bicycles presents its first carbon mountain bike, a full-suspension, 100 mm travel, 29r aimed directly at the marathon/XC racer. Using Toray high modulus carbon fibers, the Czar embodies Turner Suspension Bicycles’ track record of producing national-championship winning bikes that offer a feeling of both refinement and effortless handling.

“We’re going to place the carbon bikes in our line where we feel they’re most advantageous to the type of rider they’re aimed at,” says Turner Bicycles’ founder David Turner. “We’re going to look at those people who are hyper conscious about saving every gram they can.”

Led by bicyclist David Turner, Turner Bicycles has been making high performance suspension mountain bicycle frames since 1994. We’ve earned our winning reputation by delivering performance, pedaling efficiency, and reliability—and have a large following of devoted Turner Riders who have come to rely on the progressive evolution of our bikes and our exceptional customer service. Turner Bicycles has been at the forefront of suspension bike technologies with our Burner, Stinger, Nitrous, RFX, Flux, Highline, and Sultan, among others. At Turner Bicycles, we ride what we build, so we design and build quality without compromise.

This is one we have been rolling around here for a while, since a few weeks back when the nice guys over at Velosurance sent us some information on their new bicycle hinged insurance company. And while, admittedly, we scuffed at the idea on first glance we then realized how this type of service made sense. Mountain bikes cost a good share of your hard earned funds and we all know what it feels liked when you taco a wheel or regrettably drive your ride into the roof of your garage. Thus the point being is the unexpected happens everyday to some poor soul and when it is your ticket being called wouldn’t it be nice to know that someone has your back?

Enter Velosurance. . . for as little as one hundred dollars a year, that’s .27 cents a day, you can have the same piece of mind that millions of people already pay to protect that little brick of technology which is rarely used as an actual phone. And obviously this wouldn’t be for everyone but I know there are a few of us out there that not only revolve our lives around our mountain biking needs and also have a considerable amount of capital invested in such rides. Velosurance is a national insurance agency founded by two cyclists in response to the insurance needs of bicycle riders nationwide. After more than 3 years of development they have partnered with an A rated, US insurance company to introduce a multi risk policy offering protection to all types of cyclists.

Check them out, worst case it’s simply not for you. http://velosurance.com

Turner Burner Mountain Bike

 

Mountain Bike Mag Chooses The Turner Burner as one of their 13 favorite rides for 2013.

 

Turner Burner 27.5

Why It’s Cool: One of the best 27.5 bikes we’ve ridden 

The Burner 27.5 uses the proven DW-Link suspension system to deliver 140mm of bump-absorbing travel. It pedals crisply, yet remains smooth and supple over rough terrain. While company founder David Turner was initially resistant to 29-inch wheels, he has embraced the 27.5 standard, and the Burner is one of the best bikes of the breed. With a 67-degree head angle, the bike is relatively maneuverable, but steady on steep descents. The revamped Burner comes with 142x12mm rear thru-axle, ISCG 05 tabs and a 44mm headtube that is compatible with tapered steerers. The new model will be available in December and sold as a frame only ($2,300) or as a complete bike (prices range from $5,580 to $8,000 with Enve carbon wheels).

Lj’s Murdered Burner. . . Our Turner Bikes sales manager, Lj, wanted to show off his new blacked out ride. So you won’t catch him rolling on his new 275′s, stealth is the only speed this Turner Burner drives. . .

BikeRadar recently got their hands on an anodized blue Turner Sultan and wrote this positively tidy review for it. Below is a short selection of their assessment of our beloved 29er to get your jowls watering.

     Dave Turner’s Sultan was one of the first full suspension 29ers. This updated version is a beautifully made and immaculately conceived frameset that harks back to old glories but is still a confidence-boosting, technical trail cruiser if you prefer handbuilt alloy art over carbon. . .

When we were totally blinded by dust but still tipping into the backlit turn smoothly, the Sultan soothed what should be screaming nerves. While the big wheels dampen the sense of speed, there’s no denying the fact that the brakes need to be dabbed to stop the Sultan rear-ending whoever is dropping down in front. . . [..read more..]

MBA Mag Turner 5.Spot Review

The Evolutionary Class Champ. Mountain Bike Action Mag just recently put out a phenomenal review of our current Turner 5.Spot, version 4.2, and calling it the “Swiss army knife of mountain bikes”.

Over the years, MBA has seen more of our bikes cross through their test labs than any other magazine. So much to the fact, as rumor has it, they dubbed the original Turner as the ‘Turner Burner’ in their review of the first self-named Turner model. Which, as many of you know, is a name we now hold dearly in our hearts. MBA is a magazine that can truly review a Turner as they know where we have been and how much we have grown, for better or worse. . .

Here is a snippet from the review:

The Turner 5.Spot proves that both 26-inch wheels and aluminum frames can be as cutting edge as 29ers, 27.5ers and carbon fiber. There are so many bikes that do a few things really well but always leave gaps. The 5.Spot is the kind of bike that will never have you wishing for anything during a ride because it covers all the bases equally well. When you look up the definition of a mountain bike in the dictionary, this is the bike that should be pictured. [..read more..]
