Turner DHR(07), ORANGE GBR 224
- Thread starter CondorDH
- Start date
Orange bikes are very difficult to get ahold of seeing as they don't have a dealer in the U.S., and the DHR is a really badass bike...
I personally wouldn't want the hassle of getting ahold of a Orange and paying all the fee's(search, there is alot about it). I would just go with the DHR, it's a really badass ride.

DT has no stock of DHR's until September acording to his post on mtbr. Best finding a shop that has one in stock if you want one.
go with the turner or a cove shocker, im on a 07 sunday and test rode a shocker and i love it just as much, i also loved the old turners and the new ones appear to be sicker
A 223 is not a 224...by a long shot. Completely different geometry and feel.i have a 223 for sale
As for the bike choice, the 224 is a fantastic bike, but as mentioned, are super hard to get in the US at the moment.
A turner is a single pivot.
Incase you missed the post, no new DHR's until september, 2 1/2 months away unless you can find a shop that has one in stock in your size. Good luck.

Im prob flippin my ballin 07 224 at the end of the race season if you wanna get something used since the 224 is so hard to hunt down. the distributer in canada is completely dropping them too next year so warranty is going to be a pickle too.
check out new cannondales...
get a norco aline park edition brah. perfect bike for you. i have a gift for this type of matchwork. trust. respect.
The distributor in Canada is as good as gone now. Orange is doing warranties directly, no problem. They are in the process of finding a north american wide distributor for next season hopefully.
I think the '07 Turner DHR is going to be even more difficult to find.
I know of a new med 08 DHR for sale.....
lawl..... noob
DHR all the way!
Sounds like it will be very difficult to get either. If you're traveling to races, it can be worthwhile to stick with a major brand that will have reps (read spare parts) at the races or available quickly through a large and well established dealer network. A sweet boutique bike that you can't ride because you're missing a proprietary aluminum spacer...etc performs worse than an off-the-shelf, made in Taiwan sled. Plus, the big name manufacturer's are putting out some products that are arguably just as good.
Sorry to hijack this thread, but be practical so you can keep riding. Did you hate the IH?

For your intentions-racing and winning!
07 Turner DHR hands down over all the bikes mentioned.

Better keep your Sunday until DHR will be a full season proven
Personally, my dream bike is the 224...Order a couple derailler hangers and then get a few copies machined just in case...as for the warranty...ive never heard of an orange frame braking but maybe by the time that it does brake you would have sold the frame to somebody else OR...the finally get an orange distribuitor in North America.
Check out the hanger on the new DHR. It is a thing of beauty.
new dhr is sexy time.
Yes it is.
the second half of this is good to hear i guess.
got a pic from the other side the stays?Check out the hanger on the new DHR. It is a thing of beauty.
I don't but I can get one. As you can see, the hanger is held on by one chainring bolt and then the axle threads into it. Another cool thing, no pinch bolts on the rear axle - hooray!
Not rear dropout related but you can change out the spring without taking the shock out - just one bolt. I really like this rig.
Having the little guide tab (ala boxxer) to drop and hold your wheel in place while removing the axle is such an awesome feature, i wish everyone with thru axle frames did that.
WORD!!!
It took me a few times before I realized that my fork even had them there, I kept hold the wheel to prevent it from falling
