[ad3]

For years Turner Bikes has teased us with the possibility of a production RFX coming to fruition. They weren’t pulling our heart strings though. Some time ago, Turner dabbled with a 26″ version and right as it got close to production, the market went to 27.5″ bikes. We recently got ahold of the production version. It’s Turner’s second carbon fiber bike and has a host of cool features. We’re doing a custom build on the $2995 frame only option but for now, we wanted to tease you with some shots of its features.

The brake bosses have replaceable barrels. Not destroyed rear ends by meat fisted mechanics. A Dave Turner industry first.

A very sleek, removable downtube guard. We love that it's bolted on. The sticky ones can get really messy to replace.
