Features
- With a progressive trail geometry that makes it stable on descents and technical sections, the Salsa Timberjack SLX 27.5+ bike is a well-rounded hardtail ripper that likes to have fun on singletrack.
- Proprietary, top-shelf 6061-T6 aluminum tubing is double- and triple-butted in the main triangle for a light, responsive and durable frame with great trail feel
- Second-generation Timberjack geometry is longer, lower and slacker for aggressive riding
- 66° head tube and long wheelbase make for a stable ride, while a long reach and steep (75°) seat tube balance weight distribution for efficient pedaling
- Short chainstays (adjustable from 420 to 437 mm) keep the rear end nimble for responsive handling
- Soak up the harshness of gnarly roots, rock gardens, drops or whatever’s in your path with 130 mm of suspension travel up front
- Get your saddle out of the way for steep descents and technical sections with the included dropper post; provides 30 mm of tool-free travel adjustment
- Alternator 2.0 dropouts expand drivetrain and setup options
- Short chainstays and long front-center provide agility and stability on the trail
- Front triangle space is maximized for frame bag use
- Full-length internal routing for brake lines and shift cable housing means reliable performance in sloppy conditions, simplified maintenance and a better fit for frame bags
- Compatible with 27.5+ or 29 in. wheels (29 in. wheels not included)
- SM–XL frames have 2 bottle mounts—including a Three-Pack mount on the down tube—in the main triangle; XS frames have only the Three-Pack mount on the down tube
- All sizes feature an accessory mount on the underside of the down tube, plus top tube mounts for an EXP Series Direct Mount Top Tube Bag (not included)
- Pedals not included
- NOTE: Specs and images are subject to change based on component availability
