Juli Furtado with the new Carbon Nevis


I’m so excited to see the growing number of female riders who enjoy riding and racing cross-country,” explains Juli Furtado, 1990 XC World Champion and 3-time XC World Cup winner. “We’re introducing the new Nevis to meet the demands of riders like Kelli Emmett and the NorCal High School Cycling League teams, who want a low-slung lightweight carbon hardtail for racing.

Juliana-SRAM Pro Team rider Kelli Emmett might be taking podiums at enduro races these days but, like Juli, her roots lay firmly in cross-country and she still puts in a serious amount of off-road miles for training, racing, and fun.

Carbon Nevis

I just signed up to do the Crusher in the Tushar in Utah,” says Kelli. “With 10,000 feet of climbing set over 70-miles of gravel, pavement, and dirt, the Nevis launches just in time to be my ideal companion on this tough event.” Kelli will be joined by a team of Juliana employees and ambassadors to share the experience, and push each other along.

Hosted by the Eagle Point ski area outside of Beaver, Utah on July 11th, the Crusher is in its fifth year, and attracts racers of the highest caliber, as well as dedicated amateurs looking to test themselves on the course’s infamous climbs. And before you ask, “Tushar” is not a euphemism for one’s derrière, but the name of the mountains where the event takes place!

You can find out how Kelli and the girls get on, and discover more about the new Nevis, at Julianabicycles.com.

Key Features:
69-degree head angle
- Creates a geometry that’s nimble on the ups, stable on the downs, and pretty darn perfect everywhere else!

27.5 wheels and compact chainstays

100mm fork with 15mm thru-axle
- A generous serving of XC suspension travel in a slick quick release package.

27.2mm seatpost
- Flexes naturally to boost long-ride comfort on those 100 mile punishers without sacrificing efficiency.

Six build kit options
- From grassroots racer to Pro Class pacer, we’ve got the kit that fits. Prices starting from $2,799.

Low standover height
- At 28” on the smallest size, the aggressive sloping top tube leaves plenty of room to maneuver on the bike and put a foot down.

Internal cable routing
- Full-length carbon tunnels make the internal cable routing a piece of cake. Full Shimano Di2 and SRAM Connectamajig compatibility is the cherry on the top.

Matte Carbon
- Raw carbon saves a ¼ lb in paint weight and visually asserts the Nevis’ serious endurance intentions. Weights from 2.1 lbs (size M, frame only).

Juliana Dot Grips
- Designed by Juli Furtado herself, taking her palms to podiums since 1990.

Juliana Mountain Saddle
- Designed by women, for women, to ensure a day in the saddle won't feel like one.

 Call me an ass, but I don't really see why women need women-specific bikes? Just asking, never really done a whole lot of research. Can't they just buy a normal "male-specific" MTB in a size that fits them and adjust the rest with correct stem length, seatpost height, bar width etc.? No hate or anything btw. Smile
  • 24 2
 MARKETING!!! It´s just a way to make the sport seem closer to girls.

 The biggest thing is a saddle their anatomy needs wider hip bones to be able to fit a giant potatoe out. So a different seat is a big must idk about the rest tho.

 I get where you are coming from, but then it would cost more money to make it custom to fit. If these Juliana bikes are priced the same as the "mens" version, then it saves the consumer money and hassle.

 Juliana shoots for grabbing a Santa Cruz frame and adding a women's specific saddle plus tiny bars+grips. Call it good or call it bad let the rider decide but these specs are mighty similar to the SC Highball 27.5

 Women also carry most of their height in their legs, therefore a shorter top tube also helps. Wider saddle for their sit bones, and a shorter bar, smaller diameter grips as well!

 Women s Bikes from a company like santa cruz and specilized have totally different frame geometry. Women tend to have longer legs and shorter torso so they set the frame up to help with that. aswell as said previously the seats are a huge part of it and yes you can just buy one after but why not if it can come with one?

 hey RevService
I talked to a guy from Santa Cruz/Juliana Bikes at Crankworx Rotorua and he said the frames are the same. But their builds have different specs for contact zones and different colors. Maybe compare the Santa Cruz Bronson and the Juliana Roubion Wink
Hope I could help Wink

 It actually makes a lot of sense to have women's specific as if you are a female wanting a bike and there is a men's option with wider handlebars, longer stem, different seat etc and a women's option where you don't need to swap anything out and price is pretty much the same...what would you go for?

 For the same reason these boots (www.sportzone.pt/73823-berg-kouprey) were being sold as for "women" when I wanted to buy them in the shop, so no big numbers (and the laces were even black) - stupidity, short-sightedness, you name it; it's not that every part of the female body is anatomically different from the male...

 The thing here is that people do not realise that every rider should have a "rider specific bike"....I mean frame size, wheel size, bar width, grip diameter.... should be in proportion. It is kindda ridiculous therefore( from my point of view) that a size S comes for example with the same bar widht as a size XL, or with the same grip lenght, or grip diameter, be it woman specific or not, Personal settings aside! The one and only thing that should be different is the saddle. And this, although I said it´s my opinion....I feel is the truth!

 @Tk24: all those elements are very individual specific, not just genre, as you can easily find tall athletic women the same as short non-athletic men, so they should be user selected, with more reason than pedals (which usually are).

 @jdigdog: it makes as much sense has having size specific models (ie.: none); you're just artificially limiting your market appeal...

 Unless they have Emily Batty as team ride, else it doesn't really matter.

 @RevService as a distributor for both Specialized and Santa Cruz, I can tell you that Santa Cruz/Juliana are the EXACT same bikes. It's all marketing. The geometry for the Juliana bikes is absolutely no different than the Santa Cruz counterparts, just repainted with "women specific" colors and different grips/saddles. The frames that @wiesejunge suggests you compare use the exact same molds. For this reason, anyone looking for a womens specific bike from Juliana would be better off getting a Santa Cruz or going with another company that actually makes changes in frame geometries to better fit women as you mention, like Specialized.
Specialized actually makes different frames with different geometries for most of their women's bikes. That, when matched with their Body Geometry Fit, makes for a bike that is comfortable with anyone, regardless of body type or size.

 honestly guys, if this is the reception a womens bike gets on PB, no wonder there arent more women involved here, and in MTB in general. I say there should be more chicks in MTB, and more gear to support them.

Everyone is soo eager to shit on how the bike looks like a highball, but honestly who cares if it is? if your girlfrend/wife asked for one of those, and you could afford it, you'd buy it. Girls dont need low standover bikes, thats a bunch of crap.

 someone at Juliana is highballing everyone Smile

 What I thought... but more mid-balling given the sizing changes.

 Highball is a 29er though right?

 @maxlombardy both 27.5 and 29 with all these same feature when it was released a few months ago

 Bike looks sick! Too bad it's not men's specific. Maybe Juliana can make a men's version and call it the... oh wait.
  • 1 1
 The only industry where men try to sell women's products to women. I think any girl will prefer a Santa Cruz sticker to a Juliana. Just change the saddle and you are done.

 Kona process(which I love) is proly the closet thing to a 'girl specific' mtb w/low-low top tubes.

 I just wish the Highball came in that color.

 Just get the Nevis. Exact same. That's how Santa Cruz/Juliana do it.
