2021 salsa Timberjack XT 29
Manufacturer Description
The all-new Timberjack XT 29 just might be the best hardtail 29er for the playful types out there. Timberjack’s updated trail geometry is longer, lower, and slacker to mellow out daunting trail features, but also distributes weight evenly for pedaling and climbing prowess. Our adjustable Alternator 2.0 dropouts give you drivetrain options and let you tune Timberjack’s ride to your liking. The frame features plenty of spots to stash your ride essentials, so you can head out without a pack or extend the range of your rides (bikepacking, anyone?). 29 x 2.6” wheels and tires bring awesome rollover and traction to the trail, and Shimano’s XT group is renowned for its precise performance. Add it all up and you’ve got an instant classic trail hardtail on your hands with the all-new Timberjack.
