2024 Nitrous Complete Bike
2024 Nitrous Complete Bike
Nitrous
Demo bike, 1 large at this price: Never ridden, just shown at events this year. A little dusty, not quite show room with some minor transport rash, but new and perfect in every way it needs to be.
As great as everyone says the Nitrous is, we could not leave it completely unchanged, so, new for 2024 is a 3D printed chain stay 1/2 yoke, with massive 2.6" tire clearance and room for a 38t round chainring. We also created custom 3D printed cable routing ports that are sleeker and smoother and designed to make it easier to run the internal control lines. There was no change to geometry or tube spec, we would not want to mess with perfection!
The Nitrous has UDH, which allows you to use the newest SRAM 'Transmission' rear derailleur. And each frame is shipped with a Universal Derailleur Hanger so any derailleur from the last 4 decades can be installed and with the multiport cable routing options you can choose electric or mechanical shifting and internally routed dropper post.
Why was the Nitrous created? For fast cross country type rides, but with a fully modern geometry. There is no reason that a XC / light trail bike designed to really be pedaled in anger should have angles from 20 years ago, of course longer, lower, slacker works better than the old geometry on light bikes too!
Why a hard tail?? For many of us, there is a ton of riding that does not require a full suspension bike, and with trail sanitation happening daily, more and more trails are becoming more fun on a hardtail!

Features
CUSTOM SHAPED TITANIUM TUBESET
Subtle shaping at the lower end of the Down Tube to the spread load over the BB shell and a dramatically flared Seat Tube both increase lateral rigidity for better feel when smashing the pedals. Along with the custom tapered chainstays, these subtle features set the Turner Ti ahead of the pack when it comes to ride tuning.
12mm Bolted AXLE
Bolts are stronger, stiffer, and simpler. Which is exactly why all our bikes come with them, it simply makes sense.
DESIGNED IN THE USA
Every aspect of this Turner Ti frame is designed and engineered in the USA. From the gorgeous CNC tapered head tubes to the proprietary dropouts, we have designed every aspect of the frame.
As you probably figured out from the great price and long list of standard features, this frame is imported. We found this factory when we were producing the carbon Flux frames years ago. Soon after we started developing the first Ti Cyclosys with them. Our frames are not the first or the only Ti bicycle frames they build, as they are a factory long known for building world-class titanium mountain and road frames. What drew us to this factory was their ability to taper and create butted titanium tubing, and their massive CNC capabilities allowing us to create exactly what we wanted with out cookie cutter head tubes, bottom brackets and dropouts. Even our chainstay bridge is CNC out of billet to be super thin and not create a mud shelf!
T47 BB
‘T’ stands for threaded! Due to popular demand threads are back, and the new T47 offers bigger bearings & longer service life than older threaded standards. It will easily fit the larger and 30mm aluminum spindle creating a stiffer crank assembly, which is up to 18% lighter than the traditional steel spindle system.
Specifications subject to change without notice.

The bike rides like a dream. Geometry is spot on and UDH and T47 BB keep it up to date.
I’ve had my Nitrous for a few months, and plenty of solid rides. This bike is really a sweet spot of light, stiff, compliant and perhaps most importantly, competent. More specifically, this bike is not the superlative of any of the aforementioned qualities, but a master blend of them. The result is a wonderful bike up for an engaging experience on XC and flat to hilly trails especially where the speed is more rider than gravity. I can’t say enough as to how dialed this is for back country rake and ride trails, especially on challenging rocky / rooty trails style stuff.
Attention to detail is excellent here, and clearly the product from someone who knows their stuff and is also generous with his knowledge. I expect to spend many years of great riding with this bike! Thanks Dave!
This bike is amazing. I was nearly turned off by the shipping costs to Australia but I'm so glad I pulled the trigger. It's really special.
Firstly, it's beautiful. I stared at the frame for a week before building it up! It's a work of art .
Secondly, the ride is phenomenal. The power transfer is next level, it climbs well, descends well, corners well and it's smooth. Was able to fit a 180mm dropper. I've raced XC on it, done some long rides on it and I'd happily take it bike packing.
Lastly, as others have said, D.T was great to deal with. In Australian, "a top bloke". Answered all of my questions promptly and friendly. Thank you!!
I couldn’t recommend this bike enough, super light and fast, any questions I had about the build standards David would get back super fast, I love this bike, and brand.
What a frame, what a ride. Thanks David for such a great frame. And thx to Steve at hardtail party (YouTube channel) for the recommendation. A rocket ship indeed!
This is my forever bike. I have promised the wife. 😊
It has just the right head tube angle to be modern and give confidence but not so much that it's too long a wheelbase for my local trails. The weight is incredible. And a subtle head turner (pun intended) for those other riders 'in the know'. The build was pretty straightforward, and I should note this is the first time I've ever built up a bike from parts. Don't be intimidated if you're like me. You can do this. And then enjoy the ride.
