Turner Bicycles founder David Turner has been at the forefront of MTB suspension since the technology’s inception in the 1980s. As a professional racer, he helped designers race-test and fine tune early advancements in suspension design. Later, as a retired racer knowing how a full-suspension mountain bike should ride, Turner looked to the industry but could not find any viable solution.
The result? Turner Suspension Bicycles was born. Prototypes soon found their way under top pros and into magazine spy shots. In 1994 Turner entered the bicycle market with high-performance frames bearing his own name.
The American-made frames quickly earned a winning reputation by delivering levels of performance, pedaling efficiency and reliability few riders had ever experienced. Numerous NORBA, World Cup and UCI Championships have been won on Turner frames, relabeled by other bike companies to be ridden by their professional riders. Turner Bikes became a dominate force in the shadows of the industry for years to come.
Here at Wiggle we are stocking a range of Turner Bikes including two of the true classics:
• Turner 5.Spot Full Suspension Frame
Turner revolutionised the trail bike class in 2003 and now their newest trail bike continues to be the leader with world class Turner geometry and unparalleled quality.

Descending with the newest 5.Spot will give you the confidence to conquer almost any terrain with active braking and a perfectly engineered linkage ratio in the 140mm trail bike class.
