Here is my new enduro bike.
The frame is a Turner 5.Spot, delivering 5" of travel via the DW link. The geometry is pretty aggressive for a bike of this class but the most impressive is the stiffness of the frame, this bike is a real weapon on technical singletracks! The other massive advantage of Turner’s frame is the « journal bearings », no ball bearings on this frame... my former bike (a Rfx), lasted two years before showing some wear on the pivots, that’s twice longer than a « usual » frame!
