You've got your priorities straight. When trail day comes, all that matters is getting on the dirt, tackling miles of undulating rollers, blasting berms, and gobbling up rock gardens, and when the day ahead of you begs you to dig deeper into the travel, charge harder, and get a little boosty, the Juliana Roubion Carbon CC X01 Eagle Complete Mountain Bike won't blink an eye. This all-mountain shredder is more capable than ever, thanks to the wealth of updates we saw last season, with ultra-aggressive geometry, reconfigured VPP suspension that's inspired by the beefy big sister, the Strega, and a longer 160mm fork that balks at boulders, and laughs in the face of rock walls. The Roubion also packs in the new flip-chip for quick geometry tweaks with the turn of a wrench, plus a longer reach that offers you a bit more space in the cockpit for total control on technical descents that would send other bikes squirreling away.

The head tube angle slackens from the previous generation's generously-slack 66-degrees to an even slacker 65. 4-degrees in its highest setting, complete with a flip-chip that slackens it out even further to a near DH bike friendly 65. 1-degrees. These were numbers usually reserved for freeride or mini-DH bikes just a few years ago, so you can guess what this offers while bombing down technical descents full of steep drop-offs and nast...
