After a long winter and some wait for parts, i was able to build up the dream build bike that I wanted. Check out the 2011 Turner DHR!! According to the bathroom scale the weight is 35lbs even.
Finally rode my 11 Turner DHR!
- Thread starter MTBAlex
- Start date
Today, I went out for the first time this season and the DHR got its first taste of dirt. The bike does not disappoint. Super plush! One thing I also noticed that it is very responsive and very flickable.
I still got the new bike love going and had to give it a little shower after the ride. haha.

I'm jealous of that frame.
That doesn't look like a 35 lb build though.

Nice ride! This and the TR450 are on my list for next DH sled. How much did you spend building it up yourself?
its obviously a fantastic light build who cares about the exact weight???
Masterpiece post?
+1 didn't really like the look at first but they are growing on me, this one looks **** hot.
I didn't like the looks until I saw them in person. They actually look really good, especially the black.
Time to stock up on the Technu and hit some local shuttles!
Hey Bizutch,
It is the elite 260mm (i think). the length is pefect and I could even get full extension on my legs when I do climb!
Wood booger: Where we building? =)
Just saw the tasty list of light parts and was going to see if you went for the masterpiece.
"La Migra" is running clean right now. Full runs about 5-6 minutes and 1400' of drop. I'll hit you up for some mid-week action. Hope you like poison oak....
Unless it rains a bunch shoveling is done for the season. Already rock hard.
Thats a sweet bike and very close to a dream build for me as well. My dream builds don't have Kenda tires on them though...
Haha. I'm in the process of replacing those with some DHF exo.
Exos? Why single ply tires?
On the right course those DHF 2.5 EXOs are great tires. At 850 gm each they save about 1.5 to 2 lbs over a pair of 2ply DH tires.
Hey norbar,
This is just for the trails. When I go to a lift access park, I'll throw on some DH casing.
Just had my second ride on the DHR and getting use to it. It is awesome with the Fox 40. The front wheel tracks flawlessly over roots, rocks, and is glued to the ground. On steep sections, it was very easy to get behind the rear wheel and super stable. I'm loving it. A few more rides, and I should be ripping.
