[5] Bernard Unhasibiscay, riding a prototype Turner Afterburner, won the veteran silver medal at the UCI World Championships Downhill.

With this move came several improvements to the design of the Burner, including a single machined block to support the bottom bracket, rear shock mount, and chain stay swing-arm pivot.

Thomas Misser, riding a Kona stickered Turner Afterburner, achieved multiple wins and podium places in UCI World Cup races.

[citation needed] The RFX was strengthened and the travel increased to 150mm, while the front triangle of the DHR got its one-piece shock mount in 2002.

He then rode his custom 'one-off' DHR/Rail combination to the UCI World Cup 4-cross Champion Gold Medal and the NORBA National Mountain-cross Series Championship title.

[citation needed] Within the same year, Geoff Kabush rode his Turner Nitrous to NORBA championships in both the Elite Men's XC and the Short Track.

Eric Carter rode his custom 'Mongoose' Turner to the UCI World Cup 4-cross Champion Gold Medal and the NORBA National Mountain-cross Series Championship title.

Geoff Kabush continues to win NORBA championships in both the Elite Men's XC and the Short Track, again on a Turner Nitrous.

[citation needed] Citing an increasingly difficult relationship with the license holders, Turner abandoned the use of the Horst Link on his designs in 2006.

Turner adopted a similar seat stay single pivot design, with positive feedback from the cycling community.

Geoff Kabush, riding for Turner Bicycles, broke the all-time NORBA short track win record and took the championship.

[citation needed] Eric Delsouiller took the downhill bronze medal at the 2007 UCI World Championships MTB Masters in Pra Loup in the 45-49 class on a Turner DHR [citation needed], and was a gold medalist at the 2008 UCI World Championships MTB Masters in Pra Loup in the 50-54 class on a Turner DHR.
