Related to that, another point in favor of the Roubion if you go that way is I believe they spec the Juliana models with a lighter tune. The men's bikes all get a slightly firmer than stock tune. And their suggested shock settings are almost always "HSC open, LSC in the middle," so if you're likely to err lighter, best to start with the lighter tune to give you more range in that direction.

Yep, so I confirmed all of this with SC:
-Roubion L1 compression tune is slightly lighter in the initial part of the stroke which helps with movement over rubble and roots.
-Bronson L compression tune is slightly stiffer off the top but the difference is supposedly subtle
-It’s reportedly less of a rider weight issue - larger riders can use the L1 tune and more a rider feel preference ; my assumption is the L1 tune probably allows for a tiny bit more pedal bob when grinding a climb than the L tune
-In the CC builds with SDU, the compression adjustment dial will allow for a Roubion to feel like a Bronson or vice versa

Of course SC is sold out of the Roubion kit that I wanted so what’s out there is just dealer inventory… I was hoping to order a Roubion but ordered the white Bronson and will just start a couple clicks more open than what’s recommended on the setup guide!

Also confirmed with Cascade Components that their link does well with both… that is probably the ultimate solution for getting my wife as much plushness off the top as possible. Should help with climbing too due to chainstay growth.

Happy wife … Happy life


Same bike, but 10 years apart in design/technology!


So much goddamn bling






She crashed 1.5 weeks ago and still can’t fully weight her hand so we couldn’t totally dial in the setup yet, but so far seems like the right bike with the right kit and the right fit!

Congrats!

Great choice. The seat angle looks noticeably steeper on the new one as well. The old one still looks nice but its ez to see the newer one has a lot of geo/fit improvements. Cool to see the back to back pics of them
