This classic bike disappeared from the market nearly a decade ago, and we’ve mourned their loss like a cast-aside beau. But at Interbike this year, the Burner returned. Revamped for 650b wheels (or, in Turner-talk, 275) the Burner boasts 144 millimeters (nearly seven inches) of travel for all-mountain riding. Made in Murrieta, CA, the frames features DW Link suspension, a journal bearing system, Fox Float CTD shocks, and 142×12 thru-axel. Turner Bikes was founded by NORBA pro-racer Dave Turner, one of the founding fathers of full-suspension mountain bikes. We’re not guaranteeing that you’ll be winning World Cups or UCI Championships in your first season on the Burner, but you’ll feel like a pro with the bike’s superior performance, pedaling efficiency and smooth action ride.
Available spring 2013

The frame of the already-popular Uzzi bike from Intense Cycles will undergo a full redesign for 2013 that will add six to seven inches of adjustable travel in the rear for both all-mountain free riding.  A new hydro-formed tubing will make the frame lighter, stronger, and more rigid, and a new, asymmetrical swing arm configuration will also allow higher front derailleur and tire clearance.  The pink color? We doubt it’ll be the only option…
