Juliana Joplin 4 CC X01-kit

The Juliana 4 CC X01 Kit is a light trail bike at heart, with geometry that allows riders to go faster than one might think a 120mm travel bike can go. A trail mountain bike that is aggressive on the downhill. 

Joplin is all about covering the basics. While its 120mm suspension may not seem like much, it is perfect flowy but technical trails, days with plenty of climbing, or the lunch hot lap. Its suspension is tuned for a surprising amount of grip on the uphills, with just enough pop and gusto in its pedaling for those who occasionally savor their climbs. And while this latest Tallboy does away with the chainstay-adjustable flip chip, it receives size-specific chainstays to ensure every size feels consistent in its handling, from XS to XXL.

Newly introduced is the Glovebox, a generous in-frame storage capacity that offers plenty of room for a tube, pump, tools, and other ride essentials. A cutout on the non-drive side portion of the shock tunnel has been added to the frame, which makes it easier to check sag. There's a max tire clearance of 29 x 2.5”, added iSCG05 chain guide mounts, a SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger, and a lifetime warranty on pivot bearings. The tube-in-tube routing Santa Cruz offers for brake hoses and shift cables now include the front triangle and rear triangle.

The Juliana Joplin CC X01 bike features a SRAM X01 mechanical drivetrain paired to a lightweight CC carbon frame. The key here is the upgraded suspension; its Rockshox Pike Ultimate fork and Fox Factory DPS shock are the cream of the crop in suspension tuning and adjustability. Further, its Industry Nine 1/1 hubs offer quick engagement, easy repairability, and a delightful ratchet sound every time you descend the mountain.
