Aluminum artist "Turner" relies on carbon

The American mountain bike manufacturer Turner is known for its lightweight aluminum frames. Welding lightweight tube sets into beautiful full-suspension frames with high ride quality is the specialty of the Californian bike manufacturer. Now Turner surprises with a carbon bike - the "Czar".

The "Czar" is a twentyniner cross-country and marathon bike that can also be used on trails. If you know the riding characteristics of Turner bikes, this sounds credible. Although the aim of the "Czar" is to achieve high lateral stiffness, the aim is to prevent the frame from feeling like a hard piece of wood when riding. The coordinated use of carbon layers achieves the right balance of stiffness and flex, which should ensure good propulsion but also sufficient comfort.

The suspension linkage via the "DW-Link" is designed to keep the 100 millimetres of rear suspension travel working even when braking hard. This makes the bike easier to control even in tricky situations. The rear triangle is made from a single piece and is suspended from the "DW-Link". The MD frame size is recommended for riders between 170 and 180 centimetres tall.
