Currently have a giant glory 0 2012. Considering purchasing a new turner DHR frame, have no clue what year model since they rarely specify. Can get the frame from 1600 from America, seems like a fairly good price. There are very little reviews on the web about the DHR. But I like the linkage, and the simple look. Does anyone own this frame/bike or tried this frame or know anything about it and can give me some adivce about buying this frame. Probably sell my glory frame and swap the parts onto the new frame.

Got a mate with one he loves it, they've got a sick geometry super stable at speed, he finds it can be a bit of a handful in stupidly tight corners but so can my scalp, the linkage makes them a bike you need to be smooth they're unforgiving if you try and plough shit on them

The DHR is an amazing bike and that price is a bargain. Do it and you won't regret it.

Horst Leitner, he is the dude that invented what we now know as FSR. I thought most of the older DHRs were single pivot not FSR Anyhow I really like the DW Link bikes so at $1600 I wouldn't hesitate.

As an '08 DHR owner, i love how the bike rides and handles. But I'm not buying another DHR until Turner move the rear shock to a more protected location. On the '08 frame, where the linkage connects to the rear is a "bowl" to collect all sorts of stuff from the trail and its impossible to clean without disconnecting the linkage.
