How high she flies.

One glimpse of the mesmerizing lines, alluring paint scheme, and gravity-inspired shock configuration of the Juliana Strega Carbon CC XX1 Complete Mountain Bike is all that's needed to conjure up thoughts of scintillating park laps and epic rides across formidable ranges. Fittingly named after the Italian word for witch, we'd be lying if we didn't admit our spellbinding attraction to the Strega's gorgeous aesthetics paired with its mix of aggressive geometry, smooth suspension feel, and top-flight Carbon CC frame.


We'll go as far to say the folks at Juliana created a bike without equal in the women's market, throwing preconceived notions aside of what women desire in a mountain bike with its 170 millimeters of VPP travel. That being said, it's purely intended for the demanding rider desiring a long-travel bike to keep up with their ever-progressing skills across big hits, scary steeps, and technical alpine terrain. Ultimately, it's the type of bike for those pouring their heart and soul into every ride, whether that's weekend shuttle runs on downhill trails or self-propelled adventures deep into the mountains.


One of the first things you'll notice with the Strega lies within its reconfigured VPP suspension, driven by a lower-link mounted shock that marks a radical departure from the likes of Roubion, Furtado, and Joplin. This shock location takes cues from the Santa Cruz V10, which is renowned for its dominance on the pro downhill circuit. Translated to the Strega, the lower shock placement makes it feel more consistent and supple throughout its stroke, allowing it to track smoothly across steep and rugged terrain, much like a dedicated downhill bike. Another thing to note, Juliana employs a custom shock tune that's designed for the lighter builds of female riders, meaning it'll feel more responsive and not as harsh as male-specific shock tunes.


Delving into its geometry, the Strega inspires downhill confidence with a 65-degree head tube angle (high geometry setting) that makes it the slackest women's bike on the market. A couple of years ago, this would limit the Strega to lift-accessed downhills and shuttle runs like most gravity-specific bikes. However, realizing that many female riders desire a long-travel bike that can actually pedal uphill, the designers at Juliana engineered it with a pedal-friendly 74.5-degree seat tube angle (high geometry setting). This means you'll be able to power up steep climbs and conquer long swaths of trail, especially with the superb gear range of the XX1 12-speed drivetrain.


Seeing that mountain bikes are best when customized to your personal style, Juliana engineered the Strega with a flip-chip on the linkage that changes the bike's geometry from its gravity-friendly 65-degree head tube angle to a downhill-dedicated 64.6 degrees, as well as lowering the bottom bracket and slightly elongating the wheelbase for greater downhill composure. Another cool detail, the reconfigured shock includes a special fender that blocks flinging rocks and kicked-up mud. Juliana didn't stop there with the obsession to detail, hooking up the Strega with a custom shuttle guard, so your Carbon CC frame doesn't get damaged from banging it around on truck tailgates.


Speaking of its Carbon CC frame, the Strega Carbon CC XX1 offers weight savings over the cheaper Carbon C frame, but without sacrificing the strength or stiffness that's made Juliana frames legendary. We don't have any real figures on hand for the weight savings, but a typical Juliana Carbon CC frame weighs about nine ounces lighter than its Carbon C counterpart. Juliana achieves this fine-tuned balance of stout construction and feathery weight by using a lighter, stronger, and more expensive carbon fiber in the lay-up of its Carbon CC frames. And seeing it's custom built for hard-charging females, low standover heights (as low as 27.7 inches for the XS frame) and size-specific droppers make the most of the bike's slack and aggressive geometry without compromising on fit.
