Oregan Super-D Series #2 – Bend

Oregan Super-D #2 Bend Podium Shot

Going into my fourth race of the season, I recognized that lots of� practice time is imperative to being competitive in enduro events. To prepare for Bend, I arrived four days before race day to begin practicing and learning the course. The course was very flat and pedally and obviously catered to XC racers. On race day, I had a solid start but held back in the early turns, knowing that they had been blown out in practice the day before.� After I made it through the log ride and the few drops in the course, I knew I could start to really suffer with out any major consequences. By the end of the run, my preparation and efforts payed off, earning a 5th place finish. Here is the link to the full race run in two parts shot with a GoPro HD.

Outside Mag chose the Sultan as one of it’s best in show…

… at this years press camp, which was held just a few weeks ago at the Deer Valley resort in Utah. Press Camp is an event where a good number of bike industry manufacturers gathered to show the press what was new for the upcoming year.

Here is a snippet of what Outside Magazine had to say about the Turner Sultan;

Turner Sultan I’ve been saying for months that the upcoming season will be the year of the 29er trail bike, with developments in big-wheel frames and components finally making it feasible to build longer-travel 29ers that aren’t total tanks. Case in point, the Sultan, a five-inch trail bike that gets some important updates for 2012, including a slight slackening of the front end angles for better stability and a combination of the�new 34mm Fox fork and�an oversize tapered head tube for improved steering and stiffness.

Checking In, news from the DHR racing front.

DHR on there way to Crested Butte ProGRT event

 

We have just returned from the Crested Butte ProGRT event. A good time was had by all, and I feel we made a great showing for the team and Turner Bikes. It was fun meeting people on the road who were Turner fans, the trailer made an impression everywhere we went. We were treated to free beer at the Hot Tomato in Frutia by Turner Loyalists, and we offered rides on our 5Spots and the Proto RFX at a number of locations.

I was also able to help a few different riders with small parts for their Turners. A round tube d hanger and a few shock mount bolts went a long way towards reinforcing riders love for the brand. Each time I was met with disbelief when I refused to take any money for the parts.

I have attached a couple of photos, and we will have a album up on our FB page shortly.” – Jesse Chuse, Team Manager
