The all-new Nevis heralds the introduction of a race-ready carbon hardtail to the Juliana range. Read on for more info on the latest updates to this Women’s specific ride!

Completely designed by Juli Furtado who has been hitting podiums since 1990, the frame alone starts at $1899 with the lowest of the range hitting the shelves at $2699

“I’m so excited to see the growing number of female riders who enjoy riding and racing cross-country,” explains Juli Furtado, 1990 XC World Champion and 3-time XC World Cup winner. “We’re introducing the new Nevis to meet the demands of riders like Kelli Emmett and the NorCal High School Cycling League teams, who want a low-slung lightweight carbon hardtail for racing.”

Juliana-SRAM Pro Team rider Kelli Emmett might be taking podiums at enduro races these days but, like Juli, her roots lay firmly in cross-country and she still puts in a serious amount of off-road miles for training, racing, and fun.

“I just signed up to do the Crusher in the Tushar in Utah,” says Kelli. “With 10,000 feet of climbing set over 70-miles of gravel, pavement, and dirt, the Nevis launches just in time to be my ideal companion on this tough event.” Kelli will be joined by a team of Juliana employees and ambassadors to share the experience, and push each other along.

With the highest spec'd ride, the Nevis CC XTR, at $6599, you may as well add the ENVE wheels for an extra $2000

Full-length carbon tunnels make the internal cable routing a piece of cake. Full Shimano Di2 and SRAM Connectamajig compatibility is the cherry on the top.

Hosted by the Eagle Point ski area outside of Beaver, Utah on July 11th, the Crusher is in its fifth year, and attracts racers of the highest caliber, as well as dedicated amateurs looking to test themselves on the course’s infamous climbs. And before you ask, “Tushar” is not a euphemism for one’s derrière, but the name of the mountains where the event takes place!
