Sea Otter 2015 - Turner Preview - Singletrack World Magazine

Turner will be displaying their V3.1 Burner at this year’s Sea Otter – the Illustrious Chipps will report more from the actual show tomorrow, but in the mean time here are a few pics to whet your appetite:

It’s got “advanced dwLink suspension, new All-Mountain tubing, massive custom-machined tapered 62mm headtube, stealth dropper post cable routing, and one-inch shorter seat tube to accommodate taller dropper posts”. It says here. Braaap!

Dave Turner will also be offering his 29er Sultan in 27.5+ trim for those who desire MOAR RUBBER. Keep ’em peeled on Singletrackworld.com!

Barney Marsh

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.

Cable routing looks a bit better. Head tube change – is this just to accommodate the threads for the cable guides?
DB Iine made the world of difference to by Burner.
Stealth dropper hole – I wonder if I could retro fit / drill my older burner like that?

“one-inch shorter seat tube to accommodate taller dropper posts”

That sounds good…surprised more manufacturers don’t consider this

like the front, rear still looks like it belongs in the 1990’s

Though I’m not a fan of white frames as they always land up with a muddy hue after a few months. The new Burner looks the business.
