Turner

Turner Bicycles founder David Turner has been at the forefront of MTB suspension since the technology's inception in the 1980s. As a professional racer, he helped designers race-test and fine tune early advancements in suspension design. Later, as a retired racer knowing how a full-suspension mountain bike should ride, Turner looked to the industry but could not find any viable solution. In 1994 Turner entered the bicycle market with high-performance frames bearing his own name.

The American-made frames quickly earned a winning reputation by delivering levels of performance, pedaling efficiency and reliability few riders had ever experienced. Numerous NORBA, World Cup and UCI Championships have been won on Turner frames, relabeled by other bike companies to be ridden by their professional riders. Turner Bikes became a dominate force in the shadows of the industry for years to come.
