Conquer the mountain.

Continuing with Juliana's much-lauded 2.0 geometry update, the 2017 Juliana Furtado 2.0 Carbon R2 Complete Mountain Bike builds on the previous version's capabilities with longer, lower, and slacker geometry bent on redefining its limits on the trail. Kitted out with Shimano's SLX drivetrain, smooth WTB wheels, and SRAM's Level T hydraulic brakes, this bike is chomping at the bit to rip big lines with abandon.


Compared to older Furtado models, the changes in geometry are most apparent in the slacker head tube and steeper seat tube. The head tube loses a whole degree, dropping from 68 to 67, which brings it more in line with the previous Roubion model and expands the Furtado's capability when things get steep and gnarly. The steepened seat tube is equally impactful, with the forward-oriented position of the saddle providing better leverage on the pedals while grinding up steep inclines or cranking out speed over long stretches of singletrack.


On top of the updated tube angles, the Furtado 2.0 features 5mm more travel, a longer reach, lower bottom bracket, stubbier chainstays, and a wider rear axle than its 1.0 predecessor. That pile of alterations means that it pedals harder, takes bigger bites out of terrain, and provides a wider seat height range for aggressively tackling double-digit grades on either side of zero.


The VPP suspension also gets some updates in the Furtado 2.0. The most immediately obvious is the extra 5mm of travel, but the tuning has also been revised. Where the old suspension curve described a deep "U," the new VPP's curve more closely resembles a flattened check mark, with less dramatic ramping on either end of the travel arc.


In the dirt, these changes mean that VPP provides increased small bump compliance during the initial stroke to keep the tires glued to the trail for more traction across root-strewn grades and lumpy terrain. It also maintains its predecessor's firm feel during accelerations while jockeying for position off the line or punching up pitchy climbs. When paired with FOX's Evol air can, the ramp-up arc doesn't dramatically alter as the shock compresses, which keeps the pedaling platform consistent across travel with less wallowing, bob, and bottoming out—even while the axle's path turns rearward as travel increases to absorb big hits.


Juliana’s industry-leading carbon fiber construction makes its way into Furtado 2.0 Carbon R2, although this version uses a slightly lower grade of carbon fiber than the higher end Carbon CC frame. This requires more material be used to achieve the same strength, so it does carry a bit more weight, but in every other aspect it’s held to the same astoundingly high standards as Juliana’s Carbon CC level frames. The upshot is that you get a frame that’s every bit as stiff and strong, at much more palatable price point.


Both triangles are constructed as whole, monocoque pieces, which contributes to additional weight savings by allowing the carbon fiber to wrap continuously through junctures and around joints. This eliminates the artificial weak points of bonded frames and requires less overall material in the process. While it's being cured, the frame is compacted from inside and out, a final step that virtually eliminates any excess material and resin pooling, resulting in increased structural integrity and, of course, lower weight.
