Following the release of the updated 2024 Soma Riff, the Soma Juice also received a significant update for 2024, making it look appealing as a versatile steel bikepacking rig. It has been modernized with many promising features and geometry tweaks without drifting too far from its “old school” beginnings.
So, what’s changed? Geometry updates include a slightly (~0.7°) slacker head tube angle, steeper seat tube angle, longer wheelbase, and a touch longer reach and higher stack. The Juice is still based around 29 x 2.4″ or 27.5 x 2.8″ tires; a rigid, 100mm travel, or even 120mm travel fork; and a Tange Prestige heat-treated butted Chromoly steel frame. It now features boost hub spacing, more mounts (including top tube bosses), and provisions for a rear rack and fenders. The large and extra-large frames have bottle mounts on the seat tube, but the smaller sizes don’t.
