Juliana Roubion 2.0 Carbon CC X01 Eagle Complete Mountain Bike 2017

The head angle drops from 67 to 66 degrees, which sounds like a tiny change, but it provides even more high speed stability than the previous version. At 17. 05in, the chainstays are long enough to keep you centered on the bike, yet short enough to allow the Roubion to carve up turns with ease. Both the front and...
