The Turner Philosophy hasn’t changed much in ten years…
We’ve been designing and refining the world’s best full-suspension frames for over a decade. Like every high-performance frame before them, today’s Turners are functional, not flashy. We never put Bold New Graphics ahead of serious R&D. It’s no coincidence that nearly every Turner we’ve handcrafted in America since 1993 has featured a four-bar suspension design with Horst Links and high-performance pivot bushings. Why? Because contrary to what our competition would like you to believe, we’re convinced that bushings and four-bar links are more durable and more rigid than other designs. Turner-mounted pro racers agree with us, and they have a record book full of NORBA and UCI titles to prove it.
Progression beats evolution every time.
At Turner Bikes, we do things right. For instance, when pivot bushings proved less than ideal for the brand-new Turner Highline, we changed our design to feature ultra high-load roller bearings. Obviously the tolerances for our bushings and bearings are ridiculously precise, but we do everything it takes to deliver the ride quality Turner Bikes are famous for. If we weren’t so obsessed with performance, we could switch to skateboard bearings at our pivot points and make a fortune selling rebuild kits. Our competitors do exactly that, and no one seems to care. But at Turner Bikes, that’s simply not an option. On paper, nothing about the Turner Philosophy sounds very sexy. Unfortunately, the media and the market tends to feed off what’s new, never what’s better. At Turner Bikes, “better” is just another day at the office and “best” is a job well done. Our bike designs may start on a clean sheet of paper, but every new model eventually ends up on a very dirty trail. And when it does, that’s when our philosophy makes a big difference.
