Highlights and information
The Juliana Wilder seamlessly combines the best aspects of XC and trail bikes, creating a high-performance ride that’s both lightweight and versatile. This bike excels in rapid acceleration and out-of-the-saddle sprints, delivering exceptional speed when you need it most. But it doesn’t stop there. The rear end is designed to tackle corners with the tenacity of a trail bike, offering the control and confidence needed to navigate tight turns and rough terrain. Whether you’re charging through a race or exploring new trails, the Wilder gives you the best of both worlds—effortless power and stability.
Designed with a focus on versatility, the Wilder features 29-inch wheels that provide maximum rolling efficiency. These larger wheels help maintain momentum and glide over obstacles, allowing for quick transitions between various trail types and conditions. The bike’s geometry strikes the perfect balance, with a head tube angle that’s steeper than a typical trail bike but slacker than older XC race rigs. This unique setup results in a responsive, agile ride that offers stability when climbing or descending, all while keeping you connected to the trail. It’s built to enhance your control without sacrificing performance, whether you're racing or enjoying an all-day adventure.
Equipped with 120mm of front fork travel and 115mm of rear travel, the Wilder is ready for whatever the trail throws at you. The suspension system provides ample cushioning for aggressive descents, smoothing out rough terrain while still maintaining the precision you need for fast, technical sections. It’s a bike that’s as adaptable as you are, offering the comfort and performance needed for everything from technical singletrack to open, fast descents. Whether you're aiming for podiums or simply seeking the thrill of a challenging ride, the Wilder is designed to take on it all with ease.
