First Ride: Juliana’s New 29er – The 2020 Maverick

My initial impressions are that the Maverick is well-suited to someone who wants a bike that’s fast and efficient for long days in the saddle but won’t have you wishing for something burlier on the descents.

Juliana Maverick Review

If I was purely looking for a race bike, the Maverick would probably be the sensible option, given that the laws of physics dictate that 29” wheels are going to roll faster than 27.5” ones, and playfulness is less of a priority.

Industry Whips: Anka Martin’s Juliana Maverick

I love how this bike can be set up as a burly descending machine or lightened up quite a bit for more of a all day, xc, trail loving machine.
