Pros:
Very stout. Rear end is rock solid. travel quality is excellent. Handling is superb. Climbs very well. Well thought out K.I.S.S design.
Cons:
None so far. The design nails its intended use.
This bike is excellent. This is my second Turner. I had a Six Pack for 4 years. The Six Pack Never gave me any problems. The simple greasable rear end what a thing of beauty. It never squeaked, creaked, or broke. Any way it got stolen a little while ago. I ended up with another Turner. I was a little worried about the ride quality because of the whole Horst Vs Single pivot debate. I am pleased to say that there is no difference in the quality. Except the new frame is stiffer. I just put ten days on the bike in the mountains (sweet!) It rides excellent. The handling is spot on. It seems to have a mind of its own picking a line, yet is is so stable that you forget about all the knarliness going on below you. It was so fun I could hardly believe it. My old Pack was definitely a more muted ride. Climbing was great, mostly in the saddle. With the Propedal on on the rp23 you could stand when it got real steep. I can't say enough good about this bike. Excellent machining, simple, Super solid.
Turner does it differently than most. They build it strong then figure out how to lighten. Most build it light then try to strengthen. I'll post more as I ride it.
This bike is sick get one!
