Spy Shots! New Turner DHR Prototype

Just a week after our ‘A few minutes with David Turner’ feature, he has snuck out a few pictures of his new prototype DHR frame. Still only a work in progress, he’s managed to shoehorn a DW-Link in there where before there was a single pivot.

Given the popularity of Turner’s previous downhill designs, we can see these being rather popular when they finally appear later in 2010.

  1. I like the look of it, impressed that so much travel can be had from such short links.
    I’ve no concerns about that shock mount. Look at pretty much any single pivot bike out there. In fact the shock on my VPFree has much more chance of tearing the mount tabs off, but I suspect theres about as much chance of that happening as there is of me tearing the head tube off.
