Deciding on a used full-suspension mountain bike often means juggling capability, wear, and budget. The Turner Czar 29 enters that conversation as a carbon 29er with a cross-country travel layout, aimed at riders who want efficient climbing and enough bump absorption for real trail days.
Quick verdict
At USD 980.00, this used Turner Czar 29 is a genuine candidate for cross-country trail riders who want a light full-suspension platform. The DW Link rear suspension and 29-inch wheels make it a strong match for rolling climbs and technical descents, but the bike comes with visible wear and light paint cracking, so keep condition expectations realistic.
Who it suits
This bike suits riders looking for a 17-inch frame and a cross-country setup that favors pedaling efficiency. The 120mm front and 100mm rear travel are enough for most trail loops without turning the bike into a gravity machine. The hydraulic disc brakes and riser bar add useful control in mixed conditions, while the unisex adult sizing keeps the fit flexible for a range of riders.
What stands out
The carbon frame and fork are the headline. The 2017 Fox Factory Float 34 fork and the Fox Factory Float rear shock with a three-position lever give this bike a responsive suspension package, and the fork is described as freshly serviced. The DW Link design helps the rear end stay active while pedaling, which is valuable when the trail points upward. The 29-inch wheels roll over roots and rocks with a smooth, confident feel.
Turner Czar 29" Full Suspension Carbon Mountain Bike 17" 120/100mm
This is the specific 17-inch version of the Turner Czar 29, with 120mm up front and 100mm out back. The reason to give it a closer look is the combination of a carbon frame and well-sorted suspension at a used price that stays accessible. The limitation is the condition: small scratches and dings, light cracking throughout the topcoat, and an inner triangle bottle cage mount that has been pulled out, with it unknown whether that mount can be replaced or repaired. That matters if you want a frame-mounted bottle inside the triangle, though there is still a bottle cage mount on the underside of the down tube. The 17-inch seat tube and 22-inch effective top tube give a specific fit, so your own proportions should match that frame size before you commit. Overall, the bike is described as in good condition and ready to ride.
Bottom line
At USD 980.00, if you want a carbon full-suspension mountain trail bike and you can accept visible wear and a possibly unusable inner triangle bottle mount, the Turner Czar 29 is a balanced pick for cross-country-oriented trail riding. Weigh the condition against your own tolerance, and this bike could be a satisfying way to get onto a quality 29-inch full-suspension platform.
