runner (Sep 4, 2008 at 17:42)

Nope, just yellow and black according to the website. Too bad though, green would be money

Iron horse is gone

polidh (Sep 5, 2008 at 2:16) (Below Threshold)

what the fu*k you mean that ironhorse is gone?just becouse they donÂ´t have the DW-LINK and becouse Sam is going in to a different team? everybody is now so stoked about the TURNER becouse it hase the dw-link?stupid coment from a 15 yo kid! Rather watch what youÂ´re saying....

pperini (Sep 5, 2008 at 5:41)

he has a poin tho...people used to buy Horses because of the DW and some because of Sam hill, and of course because it is a great bike, but, tell me something, do you still have any reason now to buy a Horse if it doesnt come out with the DW?...imo its just pointless to buy this bike now that its now 100% exclusive anymore...the 2008 and older models made the owner proud of owning the bike, because of the campionships it had, and because of the great bike it was, but its not like that anymora, the shine they had is gone, and so are the IH buyers...

2009 DW-link turner DHR + 2010 new Boxxer = omfg the best duo ever!!

audeo03 (Sep 5, 2008 at 9:27)

I worked at a shop that sold Iron Horse, and I can tell you, their quality is crap. Without the DW link they will fall out of the high end market...

audeo03 (Sep 5, 2008 at 9:33)

Looks like it will preform well but I see a couple of issues. One, there are so many little bits in the "rib-cage" I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of failures in the first few versions despite all of the analysis being done on the frame. Secondly, if you ride it in wet conditions at all, your rear shock is going to have a much shorter lifespan...

10

rffr (Sep 5, 2008 at 14:55)

Dude audeo do you have any idea of how strong machined aluminum can be? The tubes are going to break before the yoke.

I ride in wet conditions with a tomac mag 204, the most notoriously mud accumulating shock destroying bike and I have yet a problem. Its called panty hoes or stockings...

ianjohnbressat (Sep 7, 2008 at 9:59)

shut the fuck up they are boath good bikes.

seanyboy760 (Sep 4, 2008 at 13:01)

dw link on turner nothing better!!!!!!!!!!

13

brettbike (Sep 4, 2008 at 19:02)

yeah it reminded me of a demo, but the rear shock eye placement looks similar to the rmx.

51

TerminusAvid (Sep 4, 2008 at 17:34)

Very impressive geometry for sure, I like the way the dw-link is implemented!

ctd07 (Sep 5, 2008 at 9:45)

looks awsome, but will weigh a lot more after each run with all the mud we get in the uk - has a very similar looking downtube to my banshee wildcard and will no doubt have the same crap-collecting properties too in all that cnc'd stuff. I wouldn't have thought it ideal for a dh RACE bike if its gonna pick up a couple of kilos of mud by the end of each run

00

psychobikernick (Sep 5, 2008 at 19:58)

iron horse sold all their high end stuff to randall scott company, an online distributor, and is bowing out of the high end market. they're going to be making department store bikes and that's it. i know this because i reaped the benefits of the blowout sale and got hooked up with a brand new 7 point and bought a mk3 comp all for under 3 grand!

11

craigpre (Sep 8, 2008 at 20:09)

Turner can implement the DW-Link better than anyone, they are not your typical Specialized, Kona, or any other mass produced bike out there they are one of the best bike manufacturers out there right up there with Ventana. This thing will be sick, I am planning on replacing my 06 DHR with this frame.

10

EricBirk (Sep 9, 2008 at 11:49)

To compare a custom bike company to Specialized is like comparing Ferrari to Chevrolet. Specialized does build great bikes dont get me wrong, but if you can afford it.... damn

00

burned (Sep 9, 2008 at 14:38)

How is that rear ends link to the rest of the frame going to fair up to lateral forces?
Not to sure how long that back end will last before it cracks in those machined areas.
Other than that it looks sick, love the machining.

iorn horse is completely gone.. no more higher end preformence bikes.. no more race team.. same hill now rides for trek.. and all iorn horse bikes are going back to walmart and target...

10

flikende (Sep 6, 2008 at 19:24)

if i didn't know that dw-link is really great, i would think that those swing links would flex up and down without activating the shock.

00

gravelslider (Sep 5, 2008 at 0:58)

it looks, really frickin good. but my problem with this frame is, that the damper is exposed to dirt/dust and the occasional squirrel.

10

sakkalli1410 (Sep 6, 2008 at 8:04)

Oooooo perfect for doing some light cross country on-should absorb jumping of the curb nicely!

10

rprouse28 (Jul 15, 2009 at 19:12)

that is a tight bike...Oh ya, and it does come in green, for a few extra bucks. All turner frames have custom color options

10

xcbbb (Aug 12, 2009 at 9:38)

wow can we say "banshee legend"

note- "I did not look^^ if this was said already".

bikeronbowen (Sep 4, 2008 at 16:07)

looks fucking sick!!!!!!!!!!!

76

terot6 (Sep 4, 2008 at 16:21)

looks like a demo, but it looks even better!!

10

adrenaline-rush (Sep 7, 2008 at 18:43)

and not as heavy looking...

10

gnarkore (Sep 4, 2008 at 18:51)

Im honestly considering buying one. This is SICK!!!

10

godfried (Sep 4, 2008 at 19:08)

how much for the frame in US$?

00

godfried (Sep 4, 2008 at 19:17)

somehow it reminds me the DEMO 8, the main triangle and with similar rear travel.

10

someguy101 (Sep 4, 2008 at 20:20)

btw cool looking frame . Reminds me of Demo as well

14

godfried (Sep 5, 2008 at 5:39)

IT LOOKS LIKE TURNER COPIED THE FRONT TRIANGLE FROM 2008 DEMO 8. SO DISAPPOINTED! BUT I LIKE THE DW LINK AND THE QUALITY AND DESIGN OF THE REAR TRIANGLE MUCH CLEANER THAN SIMPLE THAN DEMO 8. CAN I SWAP THE DW LINK FROM DHR TO DEMO 8............?

00

draco (Sep 5, 2008 at 11:29)

ctd07 - spray your mud-prone areas with silicone spray before each run - mud won't stick.

00

ctd07 (Sep 19, 2008 at 13:12)

cheers, I'll try that!

10

giantboypat (Sep 9, 2008 at 14:43)

looks arent amazing, but bet it will ride like a beast!

10

Luseboy (Aug 8, 2009 at 10:32)

i want one soo bad. whatever, ill settle for the 08...

55

littleman22 (Sep 4, 2008 at 16:24)

personal i liked it better with ironhorse

31

crazy-canuck (Sep 4, 2008 at 17:53)

yeah but this should have a lower center of gravity, and the shock leangh looks pretty good.

22

rialb (Sep 4, 2008 at 16:36)

That's sick! And only 9.5lbs with shock!

20

rydindirty (Sep 4, 2008 at 21:35)

So w/o the shock that frame weighs like 4 pounds??? lol

20

rydindirty (Sep 4, 2008 at 21:40)

I mean 6 pounds lolol...im good at math

12

wyldebill (Sep 4, 2008 at 17:26)

I like it. Advanced technology for sure. I agree though it looks very similar to my Demo 8 two.

10

gadmack (Sep 5, 2008 at 0:22)

Delicious!

xltrider (Sep 5, 2008 at 11:54)

i WANT it

andrewfoggo (Sep 5, 2008 at 13:37)

looks gorgeous.

00

transitionrider1993 (Sep 5, 2008 at 20:18)

thats is one of the sickest bikes i have ever seen keep it up turner

02

sixthelement (Sep 6, 2008 at 12:59)

It will not work. All the pivots on the DHR are located on this spider web kind of thing, which cant be stiff enought to avoid felx from the swingarm...

11

m-c-soul-kid (Sep 8, 2008 at 19:13)

iron horse have a floating shock this bike doesn't. but its still way flya

00

runner (Sep 8, 2008 at 19:56)

no IH didn't have floating shocks, and even if it did, it wouldn't necessarily make it better

22

Scott7089 (Sep 4, 2008 at 16:28)

thats so dope

00

skierkiddo (Sep 5, 2008 at 11:22)

i want....

trentS (Sep 6, 2008 at 11:11)

i like the look of my RMB better

01

demo-lisher (Sep 6, 2008 at 17:35)

sales for v10's should go up!

11

nouser (Sep 8, 2008 at 13:32)

i want one now.

13

jptothetree (Sep 4, 2008 at 16:57)

this looks really nice, and nothing like the demo (fsr) linkage.

24

foxmtbing (Sep 4, 2008 at 18:09)

its a demo with dw link and 2 swing arms instead of 3

72

allenjweston (Sep 4, 2008 at 18:30)

Actually, it's the new Turner... Didn't you see the article?

13

runner (Sep 4, 2008 at 18:45)

He knows, he's just saying what it looks like.

34

kcrc (Sep 4, 2008 at 19:14)

UGLY

13

csucsnowman (Sep 5, 2008 at 8:43)

i agree, don't like how it turned out at all, rear end looks like a mess

01

trentS (Sep 6, 2008 at 11:11)

i think its kinda ugly
