Shop all Juliana Shop sale JulianaThe Juliana Joplin C R Complete Mountain Bike doesn't respond well to being pigeonholed. Sure, you can pedal all day on the winding trail to nowhere in particular, but this short travel 29er is much more than a one dimensional XC specialist - it's a kaleidoscopic multiverse of gravity assisted trail capability. The slack front end, VPP suspension, and lightweight Carbon C frame turn the Joplin into a rocket ship heading up or down - a versatile, confident whip that will prove itself on trails near, far, and gnar. Kitted out with SRAM GX Eagle™ componentry and a smooth, easily adjustable Fox suspension system, this is the wild child you've been waiting for.
Carbon C Frame – A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.
Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.

Shock Adjustments – Lever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes, Air Spring Pressure, External Rebound
