Whether we are training for our local enduro series with days of massive climbs and descents or we are just tearing up our local singletrack on the weekdays, the Juliana Roubion is a hit with the Herd for its aggressive geometry, capable suspension platform, and its all-out rowdy attitude. Complete with 150mm of VPP suspension, the Roubion is a ruthless descender and feels bottomless on some of our steepest trails while still making short work out of most climbs. The mixed-wheel setup gives us the best of both worlds, with the efficient-rolling 29-inch wheel up front to carry our speed over rougher trails and an agile 27. 5-inch rear wheel to corner quicker and get the wheels off the ground easier.

On those bigger bike park days when we are riding more technical and steep terrain, the Roubion features a flip chip that allows us to adjust our geometry, making the bike slacker, longer, and lower. Juliana made several changes to their frames this year, including a Glovebox frame storage for easy access to our riding essentials and a Sag Window for making sag reading and setup easier. The Roubion includes an integrated chainstay and downtube protector to protect our bike from rock strikes and chain slaps, and a shuttle guard allows us to drive to the trailhead with our bike on our tailgate pad. The GX Eagle Transmission AXS build of the Juliana Roubion combines quality components and an electronic drivetrain to give us a premium build spec with a more budget-friendly approach. This build starts with Juliana’s Carbon C frame, built to the same stan…
