The Juliana Joplin 4 C R Complete Mountain Bike is the go-to choice for short travel shralpers focused on having fun above all else. It'll happily pedal all day on your favorite XC loop, but this 29er is much more than a one dimensional specialist - it's a kaleidoscope of gravity assisted trail capability, making it feel like five bikes in one. It has the latest VPP® suspension design, size-specific rear ends, Glovebox™ in-frame storage, and reliable SRAM NX Eagle components. You only get to ride one bike at a time, and a Joplin is always the right choice.
Carbon C Frame – A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.
Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
Fox Float Performance Rear Shock – The all-new FLOAT answers the demands of the modern trail rider; a firm pedal platform for uphill efficiency and confidence-inducing, trail-hugging descent capability, all in a lightweight package.
Shock Adjustments – Lever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes, Air Spring Pressure, External Rebound
The Glovebox™ – Seal whatever you want to carry on your ride inside your downtube. Secure and easy to access, the Glovebox™ has a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse inside, to help organize your stuff too. Simply cavernous!
