Shop all Juliana Shop sale JulianaThe Juliana Joplin A D Complete Mountain Bike doesn't respond well to being pigeonholed. Sure, you can pedal all day on the winding trail to nowhere in particular, but this short travel 29er is much more than a one dimensional XC specialist - it's a kaleidoscopic multiverse of gravity assisted trail capability. The slack front end, VPP suspension, and light but tough Aluminum frame turn the Joplin into a rocket ship heading up or down - a versatile, confident whip that will prove itself on trails near, far, and gnar. Kitted out with SRAM SX componentry and a smooth, easily adjustable Fox suspension system, this is the wild child you've been waiting for.
