Aggressive hardtail capability built for technical trails and all-day trail riding.
The Salsa Timberjack Deore XT 29 is a trail hardtail mountain bike designed for riders who want confident handling, modern geometry, and versatile off-road capability for technical singletrack, climbing, descending, and adventure-focused trail riding.
Built around the Timberjack Alloy V2 platform, the 2023 Timberjack combines progressive trail geometry, 29” wheels, a 130mm RockShox suspension fork, and Shimano’s proven 12-speed drivetrain technology into a capable hardtail built for speed, control, and versatility. Unlike traditional XC hardtails focused purely on efficiency, the Timberjack emphasizes confidence and fun on rough terrain while remaining efficient enough for long rides and bikepacking adventures.
