XCE.Turner's first single pivot suspension bike, the downhill race-specific Turner DH Javelin, was introduced. It was one of the first frames to have ISCG. The Turner DH Javelin was renamed Turner DH Racer (DHR) in 2000 and improved machining to the rear end. 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. 2003 was a banner year for Turner, The Turner 5-spot is introduced. It soon became Turner’s best selling frame to date. The DHR receives its make-over: A 12mm rear end and the linkage is altered giving the bike more travel. Eric Carter debuted his custom 'Mongoose Stickered' DHR and took the [NORBA] National Downhill Championship title. He then rode his custom 'one-off' DHR/Rail combination to the UCI World Cup 4-cross Champion Gold Medal and also the NORBA National Mountain-cross Series Championship title. Production moved to SAPA, who manufactures the entire Turner range with both in-house tubesets and US-made tubesets sourced externally. After the success of 2003, the year of the Turner 5-spot, by 2004 the company was capable of performing among other top bicycle brands. The Turner Burner won "The Best Full-Suspension XC Bike of the year" Riders Award on mtbr.com. The Turner 5-Spot won "The Best Full-Suspension Freeride Bike of the year" Riders Award on mtbr.com. This was the last year of the 3.5" Burner model. 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. The Turner DHR was remodeled with 8.5" of travel, 20mm dropouts on the rear with a 12mm axle, and a 1.5" headtube. Gone were the "classic" twin toptube and rounded downtube, to be replaced with box section tubing. After design changes, Turner dropped the Romic shock on the DHR in 2005. It was to be replaced with the Fox DHX with a remote reservoir. Geoff Kabush continue to win NORBA championships in both the Elite Men's XC and the Short Track, again on a Turner Nitrous. Eric Carter rode his custom 'Mongoose' Turner to the NORBA National Mountain-cross Series Championship title. Eric Delsouiller won FFC French National championships in the Veteran DH (over 40) on a Turner DHR. The
