Any Turner Burner 27.5 Owners Out There?

Had once since the turn of the year, love it. Climbs well and I love the Fox 34 up front, it matches the frames ability well.
Bought the fork with the frame from Turner, CTD.
Want. My 06 Turner 5 Pack is still as bomb-proof as ever, but who wouldn't want a shiny new toy.
I do not love my Fox Float 34 140mm FIT fork. You get to pick whether you want some small bump compliance + blow through the travel, or good support + poor small bump compliance. Same old problem. You'd think they could sort it on a $900 fork.
I wish the new 160mm 36 fit a 27.5 wheel. They are using FIT again I think. Wonder if you can do away with the CTD on the 34's.....
I haven't heard any feedback but this is out.

NICE looks killer. Wonder if I can buy an empty 34 chassis to drop that into!
The were always using FIT on the high-end models, same with CTD. I think you mean that they switched back to RC2 from RLC.
When'd you get yours? Thought I heard there was a new Fox damper for that fork that addressed (at least somewhat) the many complaints people had like your complaint above.
Even last years 36 had CTD I think....see link below. And just a note I had adjusting stuff but have heard alot of negatives on the CTD in general so don't even want to mess with it unless I cannot avoid it.

NOTICE HOW CLOSE CTD IS TO STD!

I was just looking for replacement options for my 2013 34 Talas. I hate it. The Avalanche cartridge would probably help a lot on the damping side of things, although it wouldn't do anything to fix the pita TALAS system.
I just got the new fox cartridge for the 2013 ctd fork.i havent really ridden it, but initially , it does feel better.
It was one of the first, purchased in late 2011. I should probably look into new internals, but who wants to spend another couple hundred squids on a fork that costs a grand in the first place...
Jeez, that Avy cartridge looks nice. I'm not at all please with the damping on the 34 Float on my Bronson.
nope. twas FIT RC2: http://www.ridefox.com/fox_tech_center/owners_manuals/013/index.html
2012 was FIT RLC: http://www.ridefox.com/fox_tech_center/owners_manuals/012/index.html
2011 had both RC2 and RLC: http://www.ridefox.com/fox_tech_center/owners_manuals/011/index.html
Yeah, I spent a long day on a Bronson with the 34 float and wasn't impressed at all. You have to wonder if some of the lack of small bump compliance comes from the spring side or if it is all in the damper.
I feel like it's a mix of both.
My 2013 34 Talas feels good for the first 5 to 10 compressions. After that I'm back to a stiff as hell front end. I like my forks to be stiff on my trail bike, but this is getting ridiculous. I keep dropping pressure from the air chamber on every ride and end up with a fork that won't even sag 10mm by the end of the ride.
