When taking on trails that feature massive berms, tight switchbacks, long climbs, and solid descents, you need the nimble handling and playful suspension of the Juliana Furtado 27. 5+ D Complete Mountain Bike. Don't worry, its twitchy control and efficient climbing feel don't sacrifice the strength and power you need to plow down technical trails at speed. From the 130-millimeters of VPP travel to the extended geometry that maximizes rider confidence and control, the Furtado is the quiver-killer that expands the classification of a trail bike. Updates include a slacker head tube, a lower bottom bracket--making this trail bike reach toward enduro style--and a WTB wheelset that uses SRAM hubs and Boost axles for a more efficient ride that matches the current industry standard. The Furtado emphasizes surgical precision, especially on tighter trails where trees and rocks pose clearance issues. That being said, this bike doesn't sacrifice much in the way of descending composure versus the Roubion--its enduro-bred, big sister--thanks to a reinvigorated geometry that's longer, slacker, and low-slung.

Plus, it retains one of the lowest bottom brackets in Juliana's line at a mere 13. 1 inches, keeping you glued to the trail when you're charging at high speeds and railing around corners. Another notable geometry number, the 16. 7-inch chainstays are shorter than your average trail bike, making it quick to change direction around corners.The inclusion of flip-chip technology allows for a subtle change from the 66. 5-degree head tube angle in the high setting and a 66. 2-degree head tube angle in its low setting. It not only allows you to ride with a couple of geo options, but also provides the clearance needed to run wider tires up to 2. 8 inches in width. Juliana outfits this particular Furtado with their 2. 6-inch tires, which de..
