Seen quite a few reports on flexing Epiphany's but not ridden one to find out. However, after owning a 5 Spot, Intense 5.5 Blur and Yeti 575 (08) I would have the Turner over them all. It's very hard to judge being honest as each of the above had different shocks/forks which makes a huge difference but FWIW, the Turner soaked up all bumps better and is a very well made, well thought out bike.
