The DHR's linkage looks similar (but not exactly the same) to Banshee's Prototype.

mob: It looks nothing alike. :eh:

The 5 spot geometry is right in the middle of Blur LT2/Mojo teritory, these trail bikes seem to be zeroing in on area with few variations.

The RFX is also very similar to the Nomad/Reign X/ Sanction etc etc so I expect that there will be plenty of great choices, this is all good for mountain bikers

I reckon that the RFX is the most interesting of these new Turners.

I wonder why they do not quote any wheelbase figures, all the rest is there ?

Any one got some "real" pics of a built up DHR yet ? :eh:

Dunno what I think of it yet, looks wierd :huh:

5 Spot looks mean though

I have a suspcion that there will be a mixture of Journal bearings (bushes) and needle roller bearings, I don't think we'll see too many sealed cartridge bearings.

its only the older (square) DHR's that have used a sealed bearing main pivot

I can't wait to get my hands on one

Talk on mtbr is journal bearings throughout...

Sam Hill on a Turner for next year? :lol:

The DHR is lower, slacker and longer than a production Sunday.. more like his race bike

The weight is very close too....

Turner tends to build production bikes like the racers bikes

I have a suspicion that there will be one in my toy box as soon as I can get my hands on one
