Terrific bike! Road, gravel, commute - You name it, this bike does it. Supple, comfortable and fast. I use this bike for everything. 6' with a size large. Fits perfectly.
I have been riding road bikes for close to 50 years and have had more than my share of great steel bike (Columbus, Reynolds 531 and 753) and have really enjoyed all of them. Around 2010 I moved up to a Look carbon and then to a Giant TCR, all great rides. Then I heard about "endurance" type bikes and the benefits of a more relaxed ride for older riders. I have known the Turner crew for many years and had purchased some the MTB bikes and loved the quality of those bikes. A loyal Turner employee Greg Wulff suggested a Cyclosys Ti and after some serious consideration I pulled the trigger and man am I happy I did. I had it put together with Shimano di2 11 speed, 50/34 crankset, Knight carbon wheels and Continental 32mm GP5000TR set up tubeless, WTB saddle, carbon seat post and Cadex 46cm carbon bars and stem. Well, here we over 5,000 miles later and I still love it as much as the first day I rode it. The ride is so smooth, and the geometry is absolutely perfect for my longer endurance type rides. I would do it all over again. I am planning on using for RAGBRAI 2025. Thank you Dave Turner!!
Celebrating my one-year anniversary with this amazing bike. Dave was super helpful in ensuring the bike was set up correctly for me. I am 6’2” and he determined the LARGE was the appropriate size. He was spot on. I feel very comfortable on this bike and have completed a season of both gravel and cyclocross racing and well as some epic gravel riding in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. The Cyclosys performed flawlessly!
Dave - Thanks so much for all your support!
Dave is spot on with the geometry of this bike. I wasn’t sure if I should get a medium or a large but after telling him my height and road bike size, Dave recommended a large. I guessed that a shorter (80mm) stem would be good and it was! First ride was on the farm roads in southern Illinois and I could not be more stoked. The comfort of titanium and 45c tires made short work those loose gravel roads. If you are a “gravel curious” mountain biker, look no further. This is the one!
There's lots of gravel bikes out these days. Made from all materials. As a mechanic in a shop who's owned several different brands - I got my first taste of titanium with the Turner Cyclosys. I've built, repaired and serviced lots of other brands from Moots, Mosiac, Litespeed and even a Parlee... Plenty of brands are very "proud" of their frames.($) And while I think every manufacturer should get their just desserts from the R&D, I cannot believe the value and quality that I've gotten from my Turner. My build is one of the lighter I've built, I did use mid to high level components. But what is shocking is there are brands with 4x the cost per frame with similar spec that do not ride nor perform any better and were heavier on the scale. The Turner Cyclosys does stand in its own category as not just an affordable titanium frame but also EXTREMELY well built, super compliant when it needs to be, but snappy enough to sprint when asked! It is literally everything I think a gravel bike should be with this material! If you wanted to run a suspension fork, use it in a flatbar manner - nothing would shake it. I love the future proof compatibility with the UDH and T47 BB. Asphalt, mountain roads, gravel, singletrack... Ride whatever you want. The bike enhances the experience to only levels of joy. I have nothing negative to say about the frame at all... I love it was spec'd with an Enve fork - which some people and their experiences could object to. I love the Cane Creek headset it comes with as well... They've only been making some of the best headsets and BBs for awhile. And maybe the looks could be subjective - but I wanted a RAW titanium frame for the simplicity. I know a painter of I chose to go that route, but to me - it doesn't get better than the Turner Cyclosys!
