Tweedlove: Spotted - Juliana Roubion and Bos Dizzy Fork

There’s a new Juliana in town; the Roubion is based on the Santa Cruz Bronson and is aimed at women who like to “schralp the gnar”.

Roubion

Named after a french town on a stage of the Trans Provence race, the bike is a 150mm/150mm Virtual Pivot Point (VPP) 650b All Mountain bike that’s been ridden by Anka Martin in the Enduro World Series as part of its development.

A big shock?

As standard the Roubion will be supplied with a Fox Float CTD Kashima with the option to upgrade to a Cane Creek Double Barrel Air, and X01 and XX1 options.

No UK pricing has been confirmed.

Bos – wonder stuff

Also tucked away on the Santa Cruz UK stand was the new BOS Dizzy, a 29er air sprung, closed cartridge fork, with 100mm or 120mm travel that weighs in at a claimed 1580g.

Neat thru axle

The fork uses a light 15mm thru axle design which sits in a sleeve in the dropout to help maintain stiffness. Compression damping is available via the nice big red knob on top of the right hand leg and offers three settings: soft, medium and hard.
