From challenging and unfamiliar enduro tracks to the flowy singletrack at your local trail network, the Roubion redefines expecations of what a 150mm travel bike can do. For this third generation of the bike, Juliana listened to the calls of their dedicated female riders and created a machine that's more composed at flat-out speeds across rugged terrain, but doesn't give up the versatility that's made the bike so successful and popular. The redesigned Roubion Mountain Bike Frame sees a reconfigured VPP suspension inspired by the Strega, a longer travel 160mm fork, a slacker head tube angle with an adjustable flip-chip, and a longer reach measurement for a roomy cockpit that inspires confidence on steep, technical descents. This particular Roubion features an aluminum frame for dependable strength at an affordable price. The most noticeable change to the latest Roubion lies in a reconfigured VPP suspension platform. Instead of relying on the traditional upper-link driven design, the third generation Roubion enjoys the increased bump compliance and glued-to-the-trail traction you'll experience with a VPP suspension driven by a lower-link mounted shock that's inspired by the latest Strega. This lower-link driven VPP suspension platform is something that's reserved exclusively for the Roubion and Strega, seeing the need for increased bump compliance, better support, and higher levels of traction for all-mountain, enduro, and freeride disciplines.

The next significant change to the third-gen Roubion lies in a longer, slacker geometry that pushes it deeper into the gravity end of the riding spectrum. However, this redesign doesn't significantly alter its all-around versatility, meaning ...
