Description
Trail bikes are a dime a dozen and the most popular type of bike out on the trails. With this in mind, Juliana created the Furtado, an aggressive mixed-wheel brawler of a trail bike that is second to none and no ordinary run-of-the-mill trail bike. Complete with a mixed-wheel setup and aggressive geometry, the Furtado punches well above its weight class and excels all over the mountain. With a 29-inch wheel up front for roll-over capability and a 27. 5-inch rear wheel providing enhanced agility and clearance, the Furtado ensures a lively ride all over the mountain. 130mm of VPP suspension ensures efficient climbing and ruthless and rowdy descending, allowing us to enjoy the climb as much as the descent. Slack, long, and low geometry equips us with stability and confidence on black diamond descents, and a steep seat tube angle gives us composed and efficient climbing on the way back up. Size-specific chainstays give every frame size the same balanced and agile rear end, while the adjustable Flip Chip in the rear shock link allows us to drop our center of gravity and slacken out our geometry for more confidence for days with big descents. Additional features on the Furtado include the Glovebox frame storage system so we can carry our bike tools and a spare tube, while a convenient Sag Window allows us to see our rear shocks sag indicator for an easier shock setup. Finally, integrated downtube and chainstay protectors help keep our fresh paint job protected from rock ships and chain slaps, while the shuttle guard protects our downtube when we shuttle to the trailhead. The GX Eagle Transmission build of the Juliana Furtado comes equipped with quality components, a fancy electronic drivetrain, and Juliana’s base Carbon C frame. The Carbon C frame provides a stiff and lightweight platform built to the same standards as their more premium CC frame, just with a slight weight penalty. SRAM’s GX Eagle Transmission AXS drivetrain gives us super smooth and precise electronic shifting, a wide range 12-speed drivetrain, and a near-bombproof design for performance all over the mountain. The RockShox Pike Select+, 140mm fork, handles chunky trails easily, and its partner in crime, the Super Deluxe Select+ rear shock, throws down tons of traction and has multiple compression and rebound adjustments to tune our ride to our preference. Premium Maxxis DHRII tires and Race Face ARC Offset rims make for a wheelset that will tear up the trail, and the DT Swiss 370 hubs supply us with quality performance that can be upgraded down the line for more engagement. To top off this build, SRAM Code Bronze Stealth brakes equip us with big mountain braking power and excellent modulation to keep us under control on rowdy descents. *Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level.
