Joplin

Brand: Juliana
Category: Mountain

Juliana’s description of the Joplin 3 as an “XC Wild Child” is spot on. Not often do the adjectives wild and confidence-inspiring live side-by-side, but on the Joplin, they do. The suspension numbers – 130 mm / 120 mm – are ideal for going far and going fast, and it isn’t intimidated when the trail gets rough. The Joplin also sets itself apart, in our esteem, with competitive stand over heights, including an XS frame that still has room for a water bottle cage. The Joplin is the founding 29″ bike in the Juliana line-up, and as such it has grown with the brand. If bikes could intuitively understand female riders, you wouldn’t just want the Joplin as a friend, you’d want it for your therapist…it really “gets it”. The importance of demo’ing a Joplin is based on things that actually matter: fit profile, ride performance, suspension tuning, and a culture that celebrates the accomplishments of woman-identifying riders.
