At 5"7, you could ride the small or medium DHR, depending on how you like your bike to feel.tuledhr said:I want to buy one of them,
witch one is better?
and what size do i need? (i'm 5'7" )
ExactlyPoserNewbie said:I think you can't go wrong with either bike. It all comes down to preference and probably price (I believe the DHR is cheaper MSRP wise).
Believe it!!!oly said:there have been some complaints in the past on the M1's (but thats forum speak so who knows how bad it really is..)..
I guess I should add this..........renegade999 said:I've had nothing but good experiences with Intense costumer service.
Well that depends. Golden Delicious are great to eat off the core, but they lose their taste when cooked. Granny Smith are great for cooking (apple pancakes, mmmmmm), but are a bit too bitter to be eaten plain.Zutroy said:yeah it's kinda like saying what's better a Granny Smith or Golden Delicous apple it's all personal preference and what ya got to spend.
I totally agree. I've had only positive experiences with them. A year ago, I called them to see if I could get a couple of spare pivot bolts for my Spider, and they sent me a bag full of everything to replace all of the pivots, bolts, and spacers on 2 bikes. And Intense only sold like 200 medium M3 frames......in February alone! That's astronomical for a small(ish)company like them.stiksandstones said:If Turner sold anywhere near the amount of bikes Intense Cycles did there would be bad web speak. Both are nice bikes, but I would take the M3 (or any other Intense) over a Turner anyday. From the behind the scenes stuff I have seen in the pits over the years, what I have seen in bike shops, what I have seen on the trail...Intense wins anyway.

Whoa man, have you actually taken a look at what people are riding these days? When it comes to high end bikes, they are more Turners on the trails than anything else. If you want proof of this (well e-proof anyway) go to MTBR manufacturer forums and check out the activity. Turner has 36,000 posts, and Intense has 6,000, and most of the Turner's threads start out:
Check out my new 5-spot etc..etc..
Turner has sold a gazillion of those things, and for good reason.
Their customer service is legendary, and they make some of the best riding bikes on the planet.
And I have owned 3 Intense bikes over the years, and have owned 6 Turners all together, and just from personal experience my Turners have been flawless. I had pretty good luck with Intense trail bikes as well, but the M1 was a different story. They were welded crooked, headtubes were cracking, and the chainstays on those things did more breaking than Turbo and Ozone in Electric Boogaloo. And I know of guys who personally waited for a year to get some kind of warranty frame out of them last year
As far as sales numbers, I would love to see those as well, because I know they have changed over the years. Last year, half of the Pro and Semi-Pro field was running DHRs.
Anyway, I do like both companies though, and I like how Steber is hands on at the races. I have seen him cleaning mud out of Kovarik's tires before. And I do think the new M3 is sweet, I just wanted to point out that Turners reputation is not hype, it has been earned one rider at a time.
and why on earth would Stikman say that Here's 1 reason.... HEH HEH!!!stiksandstones said:....., but I would take the M3 (or any other Intense) over a Turner anyday. .......
