News just in of another option for anyone looking for that ‘just right’ fully fat bike…
Press Release
Turner Bicycles announces immediate availability of our new fat bike “King Khan,” and it’s made for much more than snow!
According to company founder David Turner, “The Khan completely redefines what a mountain bike is. We built this bike to open riders’ minds to what is possible with more traction, and the best way to describe the experience is: an awakening to what is possible on a bike. Until one has ridden a rough climb on King Khan or descended a slippery trail, you really don’t realize how much mental energy is being exerted in the pursuit of traction. The Kahn, with over five inches of travel and a massive foot print, allows a rider to stick lines only available to mountain goats and downhill pro’s in the past. When traction is virtually unlimited, a rider can push through limits.”
King Khan is not just a fat bike. We refer to it affectionately as an All-Terrain Bike due to its ability to shine in a much more diverse range of conditions than a traditional mountain bike. With dw-link rear suspension, the bike pedals exceptionally well, virtually eliminating the fat bike bounce and gives the feeling of low-level flight over rough terrain.
The King Khan is the ideal tool for adventurers everywhere. This full-suspension fat-bike was born to take the trail less traveled. This bike defies the limitations of lesser bikes and opens the door to take that trail that was too bumpy, too eroded, too loose, and just too much of a mess to enjoy. The King Khan not only makes the unridable trails accessable, it makes riding these plagued trails an absolute blast! Flying over what once would have thrown you off the trail just to find yourself eagerly challenging everything in your path. The King Khan is the monster truck of mountain bikes and yet it still pedals surprisingly light.
The King Khan’s dw-link has superior anti-squat kinematics which is vital given how much larger the tire and rim sizes are, as is the case of all fat-bikes. All of that extra rotational weight is detrimental to pedaling efficiency but the dw-link is designed to isolate the riders pedalling effort allowing the suspension to work unrestricted. This feature enables the King Khan to simply float over everything and maintain a comfortable momentum even in the rough. You will find this bike is more capable than you ever imagined a fat-bike could be. Give it a try and you too will be convinced that the King Khan is the ultimate all-terrain trail bike!

“I just don’t get it, whats the point of a full sus fatty?”
Read the blurb up there ^ it pretty much covers it
Ugly, and that frame makes the wheels look comedy small.
I’m out.
All these years of funny looking Turners, it turns out they all just needed fat tyres.
Would love to have a go with one on some technical alpine singletrack!
😆
And so we return back to where we started all those years ago 🙂
