First Look: Juliana Bicycles Roubion 1

All the brawn of the Santa Cruz Bronson, in the spirit of Juliana, that was the goal of Juliana Bicycles when they set out to provide all you ladies who shred with a ride worthy of your most epic adventures. Mission seemingly accomplished, as the all-new Roubion has already won the Trans-Provence under Anka Martin before it was even available to the public. Named after Anka's favorite TP stage, the Roubion sports 150mm of VPP travel in a carbon frame that rolls on 27.5" wheels and is available with a number of different build kits, ranging from a $6,500 X01/Pike kit to a $10,000 XX1/ENVE version. Frames will be sold from $2,899. Juliana will be accepting orders as of June 15 and bikes are expected to be available in July.
