The new RFX features 27.5 inch wheels and is constructed using Toray High Modulus Carbon Fiber and is engineered to ascend with ease as well as descend with speed. The model offers ample tire clearance, as is characteristic of Turner Bikes, with 2.4 tires, race ready 66* HA, 160mm travel, and a new head tube dimension that allows customization of head angles in half degree increments to a super slack 64.5°!

Concerning the timing of this new release, Erik Trogden, Product Manager, said “We weren’t going to rush this just have another ‘me-to’ frame, we wanted something that was going to be the best. We knew that the enduro segment would continue to grow and be the largest in the MTB industry, and we spent a long time developing the RFX to get it right.”
