The Turner Nitrous is a titanium "XC" hardtail that looks like it wants to get rowdy! On paper this thing looks absolutely flawless and it came in a 25.1lbs with pedals. The difference between this bike and most other bikes that come across my stand is massive. So much attention to detail. Bravo Turner, I'm a fan. Which features are your favorite?

Thanks for watching friends. My brain fog has been especially bad of late and i struggle to effortlessly talk about the technical details on the fly. Theres sometging really special about this bike. All the little details have been perfected. Its pretty rare to see that these days.

@mircea5013 10 месяцев назад

brain fog.. this reminds me again of my tick bite, which I've recovered from. With the risk of being annoying, please have the tick-specific tests done again at a tick specialist. Not a general infectious disease doctor, but a tick-borne disease specialist. The symptoms you're describing are resembling that way too accurately. All other doctors were telling me "it's not the tick" and they were wrong.

I love that N+1 stamp behind the seat tube. Really drives home the fact that the frame maker is a mountain biker as well.

@wheelieso323np 10 месяцев назад

I bought a frame about a year ago and had it sent to the UK. I'm glad Steve is gushing over the bike as i am still every time I ride it. I built it up with Sids, GX, XT brakes and Venn309 carbon rims on 240 hubs. A great bike for the South Downs where fast xc rides are the order of the day. You can cover a lot of ground without feeling beaten up! It goes down the gnarly bits in a pretty composed way. Mine is a small and I like that the head tube is 85mm coupled with a Syntace Flatforce stem means that I can have the bars level with the saddle, (which is pretty good for a 5'4" person on a 29er! I have never dealt with anyone half as helpful or so Genuine and pleasant as DT. A good choice for a belated 70th birthday present to myself! Puts a smile on my face every time I ride it!

@ThomasDiFrancesco-Schäfer 10 месяцев назад

Can’t wait to see that out on the trail! Did you see the way the seat tube flairs where it hits the BB? David did that on the Cyclosis also, it makes it stiff laterally and still compliant, vertically. So smooth.

@hardtailparty 10 месяцев назад

Excellent idea.

@jimrutherford2773 10 месяцев назад

I will always have at minimum two hardtails in my corral of bikes. You can ride them 95% of the time on and off road with the exception of the most extreme rocky trails, and even those are ridable depending on the rider's ability and experience.

Love the tire clearance tests. I bought an HT (2020 Santa Cruz Chameleon) a while ago after using the consultation service on Patreon, and honestly it's my least favorite bike (but I think it is about the best HT I could have gotten for where I live). I think as an MTBer, I like rigid bikes and full sus bikes. I know this makes me weird. But as a result I am now planning to convert the Chameleon into a full rigid/skinny-fatbike, with a 29x3.0 in the front and a 29x2.6 or 2.5 in the rear.

@pauls3616 10 месяцев назад

Looks like a fantastic bike. I enjoyed owning and riding a ti hardtail back in the mid 90’s. Light and fast and never worried about frame damage. Dave Turner started making the Turner Burner around that time and that was a bike that I really wanted to try. Thanks for the first look Steve.

@denisrogers4358 10 месяцев назад

Good on ya Steve-I wish you well. Did you know the first Turner Burners’ were made in Arizona ? Frank the Welder had a factory in Chandler and I was the assembly manager. We made Dean, RockyMountain, Baracuda and I believe the first Norco fully (it had a Canadian maple-leaf cut out in the monocoque) as well as the Mongoose Amps Leigh Donovan and Byron Lopez (ha!) won the Natty Championship on. Great to see Neko’s Frameworks project-because FTW is an unsung hero of MTB. Thanks for rad content !

@hardtailparty 10 месяцев назад

I didn't know that! Very interesting.

@hardmtnbiker 10 месяцев назад

Steve, you really see the value and attention to detail that often gets overlooked. That is internal routing that was really mapped out. A T47-BB, how many hardtails do that? The "in-between" stays brake mount, very rare. All the bottle mounts, including a TT mount, another rare feature on a hardtail.I could go on but I will probable just buy one, I like it that much. This frame clicks all the boxes for me.

I heard another bike OG Joe Murray has input into the designs for voodoo. Love the video and would love a turner one day..!

I'd be SO interested to see your views on the Stooge Cycles Mk6. Andy who runs Stooge is local to me and I picked up a Mk6 frameset on a whim a few months ago. Somehow a rigid singlespeed (it will also take gears!) has now become my primary MTB. It's pretty radical for what it is and I'd love for you to ride one.

My daughter rides one for her NICA races in PA. She loves it and we’re making some upgrades from the stock (got a dropper, electric shifting and will be getting higher end carbon wheelset. I know Scott is a bigger brand, but I’d love to hear your thoughts about some of the more common (to me) brands. Thanks for what you do and who you are. Deep Peace

@GoodwinGlassworks 10 месяцев назад

You stated Turner tried to make the chainstays even shorter than they are....how??!! Appears the tire is hairs away from rubbing the ST as it is! Ti is the deal, though.....I rode a Kona Hei Hei ti xc frame in the mid/late 90's as a race and every day bike. The only frame I've owned that I didn't break(and then sold), and the pop I could get from the rear was awesome....almost like having a fast rebound on a shock. I had a Marz Z1 on it, XT/XTR stuff...weighed right around 25 pounds I believe

That bit of exposed dropper housing between the DT and ST seems like a miss-it even has t47 BB which would allow space to route around the BB. An internal tube would be a bonus. Scraping your housing on the openings in the frame and faffing about with the grommets is a pain.

@carnivorebob3250 10 месяцев назад

Awesome review. I love hardtails and have ridden both ends of the extreme recently. My Yelli Screamy with a 120mm fork was fairly awesome. I found the seat tube a smidge too steep and the bike too rigid. Have a Chromag root down and it’s too slack for trail riding. I like a hardtail for local trails that are green and blues. The geometry sounds excellent. I see another hardtail in my future. I like the Ibis DV9 for price but this is an incredible bike. I currently ride an Ibis Ripley AF and love it. The geometry is not extreme just perfect for me green to single black. I would rather be under biked 20% than over biked 80%. Even my EMTB is a trail bike.

@hardtailparty 10 месяцев назад

I'm with you, I'd rather be underbiked 20% than overbiked. The binary maniak rides a lot like the yelli, only it's supple and has more variety. I love the way the yelli (and maniak) handles though.

@rpiian 10 месяцев назад

You know, I feel like you would benefit a lot from the Bimotal modular ebike motor (the one that drives the brake rotor). You could swap it between hardtails and at least get some decent downhill testing in without killing you for weeks from the climbing. They’re pricey - but man I feel like you’d be a great candidate!

@GokkunGuru 10 месяцев назад

Looks just like the 2023 Sage Powerline but a fraction of the price. Wow😊 But the Sage has full internal routing. There’s room in the T47 BB to hide the cables.

Hey Steve! I love your channel! I’m 55 and just getting back into biking since racing sport class in the 90s on 26rs. I’ve long dreamt of a sub 25# hardtail to be a daily dream date, commuter, sport racer, and even bikepacking super climber. Well, it looks like we’re there! I have a couple months to go before taking the financial plunge and you’ve been super helpful. This bike and your Maniak from Binary are great examples of what I’m looking for. You mentioned in this episode that even though bikes have been around so long, we still improve a lot, etc., and this brought to me the question- What happened to the brakes? Klampers look cool as hell and likely the way I’d go but I hardly ran out of v-brakes or u brakes and wonder if you have considered “Over braking”? Maybe it’s just cuz I know how to toe those and suck and hydraulics that this came to mind, however if I can save weight and $$ with something that works just fine, tho the industry has gone another way, that’s fine by me.

@icantgivecredit871 4 месяца назад

5:31 Is my understanding correct that the tire isn't quite centered between the seat stays? It looks like the right side was not rubbing but the left side was. If so, is that typical on modern bike frames or is it a symptom of a wheel that's not dished properly?

@hardtailparty 4 месяца назад

Great question. Correct. It could be either. Some frames require a slightly different dish than others (but that shouldn't be the case). Other designs place more wheel/tire space on one side than the other. Usually people don't stick super wide tires in here, so they get away with a little leeway on each side. In an ideal world, all tires would be centered. I may need to re-dish this wheel..

@melodyfrench9576 10 месяцев назад

What size tyre would you suggest for a hard tail? Iv got a 27,5 ragley mmmbop, I’m toying with the idea of 26 or 28 wide tyres but not sure yet which to take the plunge with at first. I ride terrain from rock to soft sand to road to grass, a proper mix
