Apparently this was a four day week. Could have fooled us; it's felt much longer than that.

Maybe Manitou stand a chance in the UK with some proper support now.
Watching with interest.

Being of a certain age I love the styling of the Manitous but I’m not so keen on the four figure price tag. I wonder what the real world price will be.

Is it just me that squirms every time I see these lovely new bits of kit placed directly onto the floor for the pics (wheels & forks)?
Yeah, I know.....mtb bits....scratches/scuffs.....stop being a ninny.

But.....they are brand new & would it be all that difficult to put them down on a bit of card or a special FGF piece of foam mat, like those click together squares you get from Halfords? Yelp.

Also, that Cotic has me pondering whether I could/should convert my rigid Barry White Inbred to a drop-bar gravel bike, although obviously not with hideous tan wall tyres.

I miss my burner. Maybe through rose tinted specs as bikes are definitely better these days.

been on Manitou for the past 5 years or so on a lot of bikes, never had any issues except i needed to buy a couple of tools from abroad. One of the easiest brands to DIY service, the forks that is, not tried a shock i must admit

That Turner looks great, even if it is one from their post-four-bar era. I wish Dave was still making suspension bikes.

+1 for the Turner admiration.
I have a 2018/19 Flux v4.0 and that Burner looks remarkably similar at first glance.

Helter Skelter? Good, but I prefer the U2 version.

Loved my aluminium 2005 Turner 6-Pack.

The carbon V4 RFX I replaced it with is not so fondly remembered.

I loved my Turner xce, 5 spot, Sultan x 2, burner and my favourite the RFX.

I think a titanium full suspension Turned was at sea otter this year, maybe a return or not with tariffs.
