Overview
The Juice is a trail/XC hardtail frame for 29″ wheels made by Soma. This updated version features tough Broski Sliding Dropouts that allow you to go single-speed or geared or even run hub gears and slightly more modern geometry. Also new is internal seat tube dropper post routing.
A modified chainstay allows fitting even some double cranks with “plus size” 2.8″ wide tires without needing to invest in Boost parts and Soma even offer a belt-drive ready version if you want to run a Gates Carbon Drive.
