We’ve just received word of a spanking new Turner RFX which has been launched today. Oh yeah, baby…
Listen to this: Toray High Modulus carbon fibre. ‘A ride tuned to maximise enduroability’ (what? I’m just quoting). 160mm of travel. Loads of tyre clearance even with 2.4 tyres, dw-Link suspension (natch) and – I like this bit – an ‘all new head tube dimension’.
This means that you can customise the head angle in half-degree increments down to a slack-enough-for-you-sir? 65 degrees. It’s nominally a 66 degree bike, with a 73.5 degree seat tube.
UPDATE – we’ve gotten hold of a little video showing the RFX in action:
From long travel trail bike through to Park slayer, it seems the RFX has been designed with versatility in mind. And personally, we think it looks BOSTIN’.
No boost here, just good old (?) 27.5in wheels with 142×12 axle. It’s optimised for a 160-180mm fork. Turner claims to have optimised things by twiddling about with the carbon layup to yield a snappy, yet controlled, ride.
Here are the numbers:
Priced at £2,695 for the frame only, more details on Turners are available from Silverfish. No word on ETA or weight yet; we’ll keep you posted.

As a masssive turner fanboy, I like that a lot. Too much bike for me though. I’ll need to learn some new skills to even scratch the surface ;)
That is Stunning.
Very nice to see Turner back with a bike that could be popular.
I’ve missed seeing them out on the trails.
Any details on how the head angle adjuster works?
Ohhh that is just lovely.
