Whether pushing your limits on singletrack or bikepacking to places you've yet to go, you'll appreciate the modern trail geometry and nimble, short chainstays of the Timberjack SLX 27.5+ bike.
Features
- Proprietary, top-shelf double/triple-butted 6066-T6 aluminum main triangle with 6061-T6 chain/seatstays creates a light, responsive, durable frame with great trail feel
- Timberjack geometry uses a longer top tube and shorter stem than other frames, putting the rider in a confidence-inspiring position for off-road riding
- Using the same stem length, offsets and angles on each frame size, Timberjack provides riders across the size range with a consistent front-end experience
- Combining this consistent front end with super-short chainstays, as short as 420mm, makes the Timberjack an extremely agile trail bike
- Large-volume 27.5 x 2.8 in. tires supply confidence-inspiring traction while also helping to smooth out the trail
- Shimano SLX 1x11 drivetrain
- 130mm of bump-eating travel is courtesy of the RockShox Recon RL suspension fork
- Drop your saddle for steep descents and technical terrain with the included Trans-X dropper seatpost; plus, the frame provides stealth cable routing
- Alternator Dropouts deliver incredible drivetrain versatility—run single-speed or geared, QR or thru-axle, freehub or Rohloff, 27.5+ or 29er wheels/tires
- Alternator Dropouts change chainstay lengths 420-437mm; set them all the way forward for a shorter wheelbase and quick, nimble handling, or set them back for more stability
- Timberjack offers a variety of build-option canvases for the off-road artist
- With multiple dropout plate options, rear spacing of the frame can be 135mm QR, 142mm thru-axle, or BOOST-148, adapting to whatever flavor of undertaking you're up for
- 1x and 2x drivetrain compatible—the removable direct-mount front derailleur bracket allows for clean 1x build
- Full-length internal housing cable routing improves shifting performance in poor conditions and increases use time between maintenance intervals
- X-Small and Small accept 2 bottle cages, while Medium, Large, and X-Large accept 3 bottle cages
- Designed for use with the Salsa Alternator Standard rear rack; not included
- Specs and images are subject to change
