Salsa Timberjack SLX 27.5+ Mountain Bike

Features

• 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 downtube—in the main triangle; XS frames have only the Three-Pack mount on the downtube
• 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
• Specs and images are subject to change
