For those hard-charging days when we don’t want to sacrifice agility but still want to eat up rock gardens and technical descents, the Juliana Roubion is our go-to bike. With 150mm of premium VPP suspension, the Roubion is an all-around enduro machine that can easily handle chunky descents and climb narrow switchbacks with grace.

Additionally, a new Sag Window allows us to see the shocks sag indicator ring easier by adding a small cutout through the frame, simplifying the reading and setting of our rear shocks sag. The X0 AXS Transmission build of the Juliana Roubion is a top-level build, equipping us with some of the best components on the market. Juliana’s premium Carbon CC frame utilizes the best carbon fiber to make the lightest and stiffest frame possible. SRAM’s new X0 Transmission AXS drivetrain gives us the latest technology in electronic drivetrains, sporting flawless shifting even under load, a hanger-less interface for more durability, a near bombproof design, and an auto-adjusting clutch in the derailleur that gets our gears lined up perfectly even a…
