Hi
What is a better deal (both are slightly used):
Cove Shocker 2013, Boxxer WC, Saint Brakes, Sram XO, Elka Stage 5

or
Turner DHR, Marz 888, Older saint brakes, Mavic 823 wheels.

Both in excellent condition, same price on both.. I think the Cove is a better deal, am I right? About 2600$ for each one of them.

Turner is world's better - better suspension design (DW link), better wheels and better fork. Don't get me wrong, I like Cove but this one is a no brainer.

Have FUN!

Another good point Gemini - the BB for the Shocker is listed at a whopping 14.7" - that is HUGE! The Turner has more modern geometry and will simply rail corners a lot better with a 13.5" BB (lower is better for cornering).

Have FUN!
