Blending the spritely feel of an XC race bike with touches of trail bike attitude, the all-new Juliana Wilder has quickly established itself as our first choice for tackling local race series or heading out for epic days in the mountains. This speed machine is Juliana’s first dedicated cross-country race bike, featuring the lightest frame Juliana has ever made paired with an all-new Superlight suspension layout that propels us forward while holding traction through loose rocks and roots. Suitable for the dedicated racer, the Wilder fits two water bottles (some sizes fit three bottles), and its geometry promotes speedy climbing and confident descending. The Wilder is built for big days where pedaling efficiency matters, but getting down the mountain fast and safely matters more. Built with a differently tuned suspension compared to the Blur, the Widler utilizes a lighter shock tune and touchpoints designed for smaller and lighter riders than its Santa Cruz counterpart.

The modern 75. 1-degree seat-tube angle lets us confidently pedal up steep hills and messy singletrack, while the excess rear travel makes for a longer wheelbase, so we flow over chunky terrain more confidently than ever. Spec on the Wilder is curated to give us a durable and upgradeable platform to get us through season after season of hard riding. A full SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain delivers plenty of range, plus full integration with the entire Eagle lineup. Raceface AR 27 wheels are laced up to DT Swiss 370 hubs for proven performance on race day and for day-to-day riding. The Maxxis Rekon Race Wide Trail tire gives us tons of grip and low rolling resistance for our fast-paced rides. Suspension performance is handled by FOX, with their Performance lineup having much of the same tech as the Factory models minus t…
