Turner Rider, Dave Burdette gets 2nd at a MS Fundraiser Race!

Long time Turner Bikes rider and mega mileage altitude monster, Dave Burdette, placed second at the MS fundraser on the Colorado trail with an insane time of 11 hrs 19 minutes! The pic of the clean bike is from a couple days before the race while the second photo is from the finish after over 11 hours of riding through a couple hours of solid rain, with most of the race above tree line!

Dave had this much to say about the race "Just thought I would send a couple of pictures from the Colorado Trail... (the race was) fun but tough. The promoters raised about $20,000.00 for MS with the race." Sounds like time well spent. . . Congratulations Dave on the great race!

SRAM 2X10 Experience with Turner Bikes

SRAM is choosing to use the dw-link Turner Flux as one of the bike choices on their 'SRAM 2X10 Experience' tour. They are employing this channel to showcase their revered 2X10 platform this year at select locations nationwide. The Dealer Camp next week, ODD West, and Outerbike in Moab Utah  are among the first stops scheduled for the tour.  Turner Bikes is thrilled to join forces with SRAM in an effort to open more eyes to how a bike should ride.

Riders for too long have learned to numb their senses to inept handling and performing bikes. Turner Bikes has striven to provide a bike which could stand out among its peers as a foundation of how a bike should ride. And thus enriching the ride to a new level of rider to bike to trail sensitivity. Be one of the few to learn how the standard of how a bike is meant to ride has changed.
