Hot, with the added bonus of not looking like a Santa Spesh.

Wow - I'm really liking that. Simple, clean lines and I reckon the orange looks awesome. Will be watching for reviews after sea otter and prices - OUCH is my guess

Interesting RH brake lever/shifters? on the black one. SIDs with black stanchions?

That does look nice. Short travel 29er to replace the Flux?

Nice frame but looks shit with big wheels. It may ride brilliantly, but it looks shit.

Big wheels are fine for all you tall people, but for us shorties, a wheel size more appropriate to the frame size must be a better idea.

I'll take the carbon turner in 26" wheel size and with 120mm rear with 120 - 140mm forks please.

Turner frames are handsome things. That one just looks about 10 sizes too small for the wheels.

Very nice indeed, orange xl one please; I assume that the frame production will be outside the USA...

Is it a matter of cost these days? Heard a few people in the business say it's now a case of where the carbon manufacturing expertise is.

I wonder if carbon is the reason they've been holding off a new 6 pack/rfx.

I don't know what the wheel size is. However, it seems to me that if Turner need to produce somthing to suit all sizes of rider, and the Burner is 650b, then isn't it most likely the carbon Flux will be 650b too?

Turners main market is USA, they're buying loads of XC 29ers........ What would you make if it was your cash in the business??

I [i]think[/i] it says "RaceKing 29" on the tyre sidewalls in the first pic.
