2011 Sultan

With twenty nine inch wheels and 120mm of travel, the updated 29r from Turner is for everyone who loves the 29 inch wheel characteristics and now can utilize those big wheels with a class leading 120mm of dw-link travel. David Turner and Dave Weagle really did their homework on the Sultan.

Carefully blending the dynamics of rider positioning with the special anti-squat needs of the 29 inch wheeled bike. Special attention was paid to the relationship between bottom bracket height, chainstay length and dw-link placement resulting in super efficient power transfer through those big wheels, yet always fully active suspension that devours everything mother earth has in front of it.

The riding gauge is only an example illustrating this bikes intended use, as both build components and the riders' skill level can appropriately dictate how this bike may be ridden.
