Turning radius
I don't see a turning radius listed for the 2017 Aspire while the Anthem shows 55 degrees.
Since the 2017s are on the same chassis and have same IFS, what is different?
What is the Aspire turning radius spec?

55 degrees is the wheel cut, not turning radius. It would be nice if actual turning radius were reported. I would particularly like to know the turning radius both with and without the steerable tag.

Foretravel did a test and fund that the steerable tag only gave them one foot less of a turning radius.

The 2017 Spartan spec sheet lists the wheel cut as "Turning Angle" and it's 55 degrees. The 2017 Aspire has the same Reyco IFS 1700 front suspension as the Anthem. I don't know the actual turning raidius.

Thanks and understand that the specification should be wheel cut, not turning radius, but that is the Entegra specification. Also agree that Aspire wheel cut should be same as Anthem since equipped the same but Aspire spec for 'turning radius" is blank. It would also be disappointing if the K2 wheel cut is not as good as Freightliner.

After driving both FL and Spartan in similar chassis I really don't see a difference. I do know that FL rates their wheel cut with 275 series tires. When you put 295 or 315 tires on they can't turn as sharp. But the rating still remains the same so be careful when comparing "advertised" specs.

Assume maybe you are looking at the Entegra website? Details there may need some updating. Below is the Spartan spec sheet for the 2017 Aspire which has more details, see the top of page 2, not blank, says 55 degrees:
