Turner 08/09 info

Wow, there sure has been a lot of buzz lately about Turner Bikes. In case you haven't heard, David Turner and co have collaborated with legendary modern day suspension guru Dave Weagle for their entire 2009 lineup of bikes. Before I get into that, though, I'd like to note the following pricing for the remainder of Turners '08 stock (based on remaining availability). Now is the time to own a true classic!
Flux - 1400
Spot - 1600
RFX - 1760
Sultan - 1500

On to the 2009 line up! All models will have a 30.9 seatpost (so you can run a Crank Bros Joplin if you want), DW linkage, Turner specific journal bearing pivots, and will be made in the US by Sapa.

I'll start off with the 2009 Turner 5 Spot, since that's the first bike we'll see availability on. Should be here shortly after Interbike (ie by Halloween).

5.5" of travel. 6.7 lbs. Stock colors will be blue streak and iron glimmer. I'm excited about the iron glimmer. They've been doing that as a custome color and it's battleshipoliscious.


One for the lift guys. Bye bye Iron Horse Sunday, hello 2009 Turner DHR. Little links, big travel. 8.3" to be exact. 9.5 lbs, too, so pretty light. Semi gloss black baby.

Flux time. This bike has been one of my all time favorites for a long time. I'm sure the 2009 Turner Flux will keep the flame burning. Fire Engine Red or Stardust Silver. 4" of travel and the bike will retain it's 5.5lb weight.

The 2009 Turner RFX. It's swoopy, but still looks like a Turner. This is Turner's all mountain/light freeride offering at 7.6 lbs and 6.7 inches of travel. The RFX will build into a sweet go anywhere, do anything ride. Gloss white or British Racing Green.

And finally, the 2009 Turner Sultan. Yeehaw, for 2009, the Sultan goes to eleven. Well, not really, but it does go up to 4.7". Still svelte at 6.8lbs, too. This will be a perfect match the the new 120mm Maxle Reba 29er or the Fox F120 29er. Gloss white to match the Fox fork or bronze glimmer.
That's all I know so far, folks. There's still a big buzz online and amongst Turner afficionados so more info should be available soon. I'll keep you posted!
