Turner 5 Spot review
Turner Bikes has been cranking out quality, drool-worthy frames for some time and the Five Spot is Turner’s answer for the discerning all-mountain rider. The Five Spot, available from Turner as a frame-only, retails for about $1,850 usd and, depending on the model year features either a four-bar Horst linkage or Torque Neutralizing Technology. Turner’s move away from the acclaimed Horst link raised some eyebrows at last year’s Interbike but, to be honest, most riders really won’t notice any difference in overall ride quality with the TNT linkage.
Bike Magazine posted up a brief review of the Five Spot that doesn’t really introduce any new insight into the ride characterstics of the frame but it’s good to see that the overall quality of the company’s product remains high.
