If only one bike? For me, it'd be a toss-up between the Turner 5-Spot and the Turner 6-Pack, 6" & 6" - The 6-Pack would probably be the perfect compromise between full-on DH and TrailBike.

Others to consider:
Iron Horse 7.7
Giant Reign
Trek 77

God that bike is beautiful :heart:

a green machine.

The one with the tassles? Cool!

The 6-pack would be perfect, those bikes rule.

I recently sold both my DH and XC/FR bikes and am in the process of building a 6/6" 2005 S-Works Enduro, the build will be bullet proof and just under 35# with Deemax/Saint/Hope M4's. I will use it for everything and love every minute of it!

i wish. actually, i didn't have the dough to swing that option, so i chose the basket instead.....you know, went for practicality

I would go with the FS trail bike. I could hit most trails with it. Hit some moderate DH, some BMX courses, DJ's, and ride some epics.

Hahahaha - wicked! I still wish they'd break down and make an adult-sized one.

 

[arboc!]

i might have to go w/ this

 

[SuperSlow]

maybe a turner 6 pack with a 66

if I could magically make my Banshee Scream/888 10lbs lighter that would be the $zhit... but w/o the magic I'd swap the Scream frame for an '04 Ellsworth :evil: Dare... but hey I'd brake a bike like that... (I weight 185 on a good day and I'm 6'1")... well see what the Uzzi Vpx is like... maybe that frame w/a 7" 66rc or a & 7" Sherman breakout...

Whats the big thing with the single crown long travel forks? They weigh just as much as a dual crown. So your really only gaining the fact that you can do X-ups, Bar-spins or Tail-whips and can turn really sharp when your going about a mile an hour....all of which probably only cater to a small percentage. At the cost of losing the burliness of a dual crown. I just question their strength and durability. I have enough problems on my hardtail with short travel single crown forks.

 

[arboc!]

the weight is lower in the front which lowers the center of gravity. and corning becomes nimbler and quicker

 

[joelsman]

long travel forks weigh about the same because the steerer tube, crown and stanctions have to that much stronger, so all you really gain is tighter turning and X-up capability. 66 weighs almost as much as a 888, sherman + is ligher by a bit more than a slider+ also.

6pack / DHX 5.0 or AVY / boxxer ride / 28-38-DRS

The weight from the lower crown up I would think is pretty minimal, plus there has got to be more flex and deflexion on big and small hits, creating a front end that might not track as good. Corners usually are bumpy....making cornering sketchy and slower. This is just a theory, I have not gotten to actually ride a long travel fork. I am merely questioning there purpose.

ok..... then x ups and bar spins
