Turners full bike line for 2009 will utilise the DW link design. Combining Turner's 15 years of making great handling bikes and the linkage system that has taken multiple world championship and world cup victories, will make for amazing bikes.

Wide Open will hopefully have Spot , Flux and Sultan frames available from late October. The DHR frames are expected in late April 2009, with the new RFX to follow in May.

Keep watching www.wideopen.co.nz for live updates from the Wide Open product launch in late October, where there will be DW link Turner bikes in the flesh.

If your primary concern is buying the best handling longest lasting mountain bike you can buy, than Turner Bikes delivers. We offer a super efficient dw-link suspension system, a finely tuned shock and rocker and rigidity enhancing HexLoc linkage for outstanding line holding precision. This combined with over 15 years of chassis development to produce some of the worlds best handling bikes makes buying a Turner frame a smart choice.

Why is this not on CNN?

Now will Turner be using bushings or bearings?

Jono · *by **Jono** on Thu 4/Sep/08 9:51am*

Well, after years of extolling the virtues of bushings mr turner has been using bearings for a couple of years. Given the additional number of pivots, I would guess that he'll still be doing the bearing thing with DW

Hmm, I was expecting something like a sundae etc with different badges :lol:

Really interesting. I cant wait to see Turner show yet again that he can produce a fantastic bike using a proven suspension design.

Hope he keeps the bushes tho... that is one reason I bought the horst link 5 spot. The bushes work so nicely!!

I'm liking the rfx, its like a 6 point ironhorse but without the stupid (83mm bb, 150mm arse end, 30mm post)

mob: Just as long as Robbie doesnt buy one, the Spot could go on my wish list.

There are a couple of photos up on mtbr at the moment (in the turner forum - you'll need to register to see the photos). They look nice.

I was only talking to dogboy yesterday about my start of the extreme tyre-kicking season for a new trail bike
