Juliana pride themselves on offering smaller riders lightweight and quality options for their riding needs. Their new range fits women from 4ft 8” to 5ft 10” with three frame sizes. The XS size is designed around 26” wheels instead of the 29” wheels of the Small and Medium frames, crank length is also specifically tailored for rider size too. The aluminium frame has oversized tubing and just in case you fancy switching to a single-speed set-up has inter-changeable drop-outs.

Fox’s 32 Float fork has 100mm travel, a 15mm thru axle and plenty of adjustment suitable for lighter riders. Disc brakes and the drivetrain are Shimano Deore/SLX with a Shadow Plus rear derailleur. Juliana’s home-grown contact components are designed around female specific needs, compact bars, smaller grips and saddle complete the picture.
