Nevis D Complete Mountain Bike - 2015

Accommodating riders 4'8" and up, the Juliana Nevis D Complete 2015 Women's Mountain Bike is dialed for smaller riders looking for the increased rolling benefits of 27.5-inch wheels without sacrificing low standover height or nimble, confidence-inspiring handling. Its lightweight aluminum frame strikes an ideal balance between strength and stiffness, making it well suited for fast, flowy trails without the expense of unnecessary weight on long, lung-busting climbs. Plus, you'll find that the rear triangle has a 142mm thru-axle for increased stiffness.

Adding to the Nevis' progression-inspiring demeanor is a 69-degree head tube angle that's right at home on spirited climbs and competent enough to tackle high-speed descents. The bike's roomy cockpit not only lets you stretch out and relax on longer rides, but it's also positioned for neutral handling over a wide variety of trails and terrain.

The D build comes nicely equipped with a RockShox Recon Gold TK fork, which is light and stiff. The 2x10 drivetrain uses a blend of Shimano SLX and Deore components, with the rear derailleur using a Shadow Plus clutch to eliminate chain slap at higher speeds. Juliana's own handlebar, grips, and saddle grace the cockpit for added comfort and flair. Moreover, the Nevis sports Juliana's new 720mm Flat Bar on small and medium sizes for a sturdier, more confidence-inspiring feel. The extra-small size retains Juliana's 680mm Compact Bar that's optimized for smaller riders.
