The Juliana Furtado 27. 5+ R Mountain Bike is a versatile trail machine, not a one-trick enduro sled or XC pony, so it can keep up with you whether you're sweating up a technical ascent, flowing through sweeping descents, or dicing technical sections of trail. This nimble bike has a long, slack geometry that increases stability without sacrificing the playfulness of its 27. 5in wheels and short chainstays. This third-generation frame is stiffer, has extra clearance for up to 27. 5 x 2. 8in tires, and has a flip-chip in the linkage that lets you adjust the geometry to accommodate different tire sizes and terrain styles. The geometry has been made longer and slacker for better stability on the downhills, with a steeper seat tube angle to balance things out on the climbs. The VPP suspension platform has new links with a reconfigured suspension curve that serve to improve small bump compliance and mid-stroke support without sacrificing bottoming resistance. The result is a versatile trail bike that's nimble on tight technical stuff, but perfectly poised for tricky descents too. The Furtado's headtube is now slacker than ever, relaxed to a 66. 5-degree head tube angle in its high setting and a more DH-friendly 66. 2-degree head tube angle in the lowest setting. The inclusion of the flip-chip allows for this subtle change giving you the ability to tune the bike's geometry for different terrain and riding styles.

Planning on knocking out that 6-hour pedal fest deep into the woods you and your buddies have planned out for a bit' Go high, and you'll be treated with a bike that pedals well and doesn't flinch in the face of technical trail problems on steep, rowdy terrain. The other geometry updates include its slightly longer reach that's grown by around 15 millimeters across sizes for a bit roomier feel in the cockpit, as well as increased stability at higher speeds.
