1984-1985 Raleigh Burner (Mark II)
In 1984 Raleigh really went for it! (to coin a phrase), as they
relaunched the Burner range. The new Mark II incorporated
innovations already seen on the Japanese Tange built Cr-Mo framed Aero
Pro (released earlier in '83). Gone were the aesthetically
pleasing front gusset and rear looptail, now replaced by oval tubed
frames and forks that incorporating light weight with overall rigidity.
Chrome-Moly was used extensively across the Mark II range; top end
Burners were fully Cr-Mo, mid-range models had Cr-Mo main tubes whilst
the entry level Mag, Black and Red Burners continued to be built in
steel, (like their Mark I counterparts), but these were now branded 'Carbo-Spec'.
Brochures
What no Extra?
Presumably the two tone paint scheme was too much trouble! Never
mind, at least we got two new models carrying the very sexy
'Team' livery of blue, red, yellow and white...
