Juliana

Joplin Carbon C R Mountain Bike

Whooping and hollering isn't just reserved for the downhills with the Juliana Joplin Carbon C R Mountain Bike. This aggressive trail bike is built upon a supple yet responsive VPP suspension platform, meaning those 'upduro' segments we love are all the more tamable. The bike comes stock with a supple 120mm of rear suspension and responsive 130mm fork in the front and comes built to handle any kind of terrain. The lightweight carbon frame helps make hills all the more doable while keeping trail chatter to a minimum. We're riding our Joplin just about anywhere we can with more confidence than a dedicated trail bike should allow.

The Joplin is based on the ever-popular and genre-blending Santa Cruz Tallboy, with tuned suspension to match female riders styles and preferences. The Tallboy is known for getting down any mountain and climbing back up it faster than our friends can. The Joplin comes with an integrated flip-chip that can slack out the front end to 65.5-degrees without compromising the wheelbase or rollover numbers. 29in wheels help us get over any kind of trail obstacle and the long wheelbase keeps us stable when the speeds get high.

Meant for getting up steep hills efficiently the Joplin comes equipped with a mega-range SRAM Eagle drivetrain. Eagle cassettes throw on a huge 50t in the rear and 30t chainring in the front, giving us a massive amount of range for getting over the steepest kind of terrain. Fox products support the suspension duties both front and rear. A Fox Rythm fork is outfitted on the front and comes with pre-tuned adjustment depending on the terrain type. 120mm of rearward suspension is handles by a Fox Float Performance DPS, giving a range of adjustments and features seen on its more expensive Factory sibling.

The Joplin was built to roll efficiently on rolling terrain, confidently on the downhills, and efficiently on the climbs. Though building the perfect all-rounder bike is no easy task Juliana submits their best with the Joplin. RaceFace hoops with a huge 30mm internal diameter are paired to aggressive and fast-rolling Maxxis tires. A Maxxis Dissector in the front hooks up in the loosest terrain while the Rekon out back rolls quick while still grabbing onto dirt in the corners. The Joplin brings efficiency to our riding without sacrificing downhill ability, helping us practice skills and dial in lines any day of the week.
