Rock the trail.

The 2016 Juliana Joplin Carbon S Complete Mountain Bike shares geometry and suspension with its ever-popular and award-winning twin sibling, the Santa Cruz Tallboy, with a few tweaks to better fit smaller riders. With 29-inch wheels, this bike boasts a responsive ride that will tackle hills and rocket down the trail to the next rise faster than a classic pop song can climb the charts.


Juliana's carbon frames are laid-up in two pieces: a complete rear triangle and a complete main triangle. This eliminates the need for bonding separate tubes, which can result in additional layers of material to strengthen joints. It also means that carbon fibers run continuously through the joints, wrapping around key junctures for additional strength while using less material overall. While the Joplin Carbon clocks in at about 280g heavier than its top-end sister, the Joplin Carbon CC, it maintains the same level of stiffness and reliability and affords a much more wallet friendly price tag.


The suspension consists of a FOX Float Performance shock enshrined in a Virtual Pivot Point (VPP) suspension. The VPP suspension brings a simple, functional mechanism to life in a way that the bike's namesake singer, with her preference as a late teen for men's jeans, would definitely appreciate. By using a dual-link suspension model, VPP creates an imaginary point where the first and third links would meet if they were extended in the frame's main triangle.


Since both links are hinged at either end, their relation to each other changes constantly throughout the suspension's travel, and the virtual point where they converge changes, too. During the first stages of travel, the top link sees the lion's share of rotation; as you move beyond the sag point into later stages of travel, the lower link sees the most movement. This effectively adjusts the pedaling platform over the course of travel to stay as close as possible to the sweet spot between pedal-stalling, anti-squat feedback and the loss of chain tension that results from too much pro-squat. The lower link features a grease port for ease of maintenance, and all frame bearings enjoy a lifetime warranty, so they're equal to the hard life of a young rock star.


Juliana specs the Joplin Carbon S with FOX's Float 32 CTD Performance Fit 120mm travel fork, which uses FOX's Climb Trail Descend system so you can adjust travel on the fly from a more efficient pedaling platform on climbs to a plush give that absorbs big hits on the downhills and everything in between. The 1x11 drivetrain consists of SRAM GX components and a Race Face Aeffect crankset, with a 32t chainring up front and a 10-42t cassette in the rear to provide ample gearing for a wide variety of terrain. A set of Shimano SLX brakes pairs with 160mm rotors to keep you firmly in control on the descents. For the cockpit, Juliana supplies the custom grips and women-specific saddle while a Race Face handlebar, stem, and seatpost keep the controls in check. The Joplin Carbon S rolls on set of SRAM hubs laced to 29in Easton AR 24 rims wrapped in Maxxis Ikon tubeless-ready tires for a smooth ride down any trail.
