I object to objectionable phrasing.
Follow the watch........... You are getting sleeeeeepyyyy. The issues you're having are all in your head, there are no flaws in this bike.

Actually reviews are all subjective. This review is raising all kinds of objections.
Objectionable: Arousing disaproval; offensive.

This from a guy who would rather help resurrect an eastern european bike company with no real current following rather than just find another bike he likes?Follow the watch........... You are getting sleeeeeepyyyy. The issues you're having are all in your head, there are no flaws in this bike.

Anyways... believe it or not Jan has been very good to me, so that's why the continued supportThat said, if the snow ever does melt at N*, I really would like to pedal your Turner around.
Cheers for all the advice lads, been an interesting read. Unfortunately due to a change in monies situation I probably won't be seeing either of these frames until I either finish my degree and get a well paying job or sell up one of my kidneys...looks like I'm ragging the sunday till it dies!

full floating rear suspension?
hehe
What the fvck happened to that thing?
he just bunnied off a curb!
seriously, by the looks of the twisted fork, it hit something very hard.
By the looks of the stem, I'd say he hit damn parking garage overhang.
I haven't cased any 80 foot road gaps or 30 foot drops on my dhr with a 6 year old fork lately, but if I do and this happens I'll definitely put it on the Internet :/
This! How the heck did the frame snap before the Boxxer????
That's jacked up. WTF happened?
hehe
Hey dudes, I saw this happen yesterday in whistler, at the bottom of schleyer. Guy hit that really small jump just before the road crossing the fireroad next to lower crank it up. It was super scary to watch, he landed and the frame just exploded. He wasn't doing anything crazy, definitely should not have happened.
That stupid jump fvcks people up!
Especially sketchy when ridden in just socks.
Twisted fork. To hear Rock Shox tell it, it's the riders fault.
Jousting with Amtrak?
I don't know the guy outside of the 10 minutes I spent talking to him after his bike sheered into 2 pieces, but he said it was only his 6th day in the park on it, and he was riding schleyer. I dont think he was doing anything more than that.
Did he drive to Whistler on a bumpy road with the bike hanging over the back of his truck??? Might be a pre-damaged downtube similar to what happened to some 951s.
Yeah that is a distinct possibility... Whistler is hard on bikes and all (claimed one of my frames too!) but that downtube is broken in a seriously weird spot. Something's messed up about that one.
hopefully we can get DT to comment on this. That would put alot of worries to rest.
Saw this on my buddies phone yesterday while riding the park. Having a hard time understanding how casing that (quite small) jump broke the frame. Definitely not confidence inspiring, as it seems as though DH bikes should be able to take much more abuse than that...
Unless it was already partially cracked through and this was just the straw that broke he camel's back.
Oh, for example.... I once cracked my frame by pedaling too hard. I had ridden in the park and was going back home. Accelerated from a stop-light and SNAP!! The frame broke at shock mount on the seat-tube.
So are my legs more massive than Wade Boots?
Do I generate 200BHP in my legs?
Heck no... obvoiusly one of the drops I did started the crack and then the acceleration/hard pedaling was just the little extra that made it crack through 100%.
So if you are looking at this from a technical standpoint I was JRA'ing (Just riding along). Do I really think that was the case though? NO
From what I have heard the first batch of DHR's did have some issues but that has all been taken care of now and new frames seem to be doing great.
Plus there is an awesome warranty.
Even in pieces the bike looks great. If only ...
if i was working at turner i would be banging my head against the wall that this was posted...obviously there are tons of these bikes out there now, and if this happened over something small there was something wrong with this SPECIFIC frame...
i would be slow to bash the brand based on this photo...they have always been such a great product...im sure they took care of this guy

I don't think it's wrong for someone to post a pic of a broken frame, it may save someone else from a very serious injury. Why does everyone freak out when someone posts a picture of a broken part from a reputable company? I don't get it, it's something people should be aware of if there is a possible flaw. Turner already recalled a bunch of frames from last years batches. They are a great company with great company customer service, I'm sure they'll address this ASAP.
Good eye.
That bike is busted in so many ways, there's no way I'd expect the manufacturer to offer anything but sympathy.
