Trail-ready hardtail performance built for aggressive riding and technical terrain.
The Salsa Timberjack SLX 29 is a modern trail hardtail mountain bike designed for riders who want confident geometry, capable suspension, and versatile off-road performance for technical singletrack, climbing, descending, and all-day trail adventures.
Built around the Timberjack Alloy V2 platform, the 2023 Timberjack SLX combines progressive trail geometry, large-volume 29” tires, a 130mm RockShox suspension fork, and Shimano’s dependable 12-speed drivetrain technology into a capable hardtail built to handle rough terrain with speed and confidence. Unlike traditional XC hardtails focused purely on efficiency, the Timberjack prioritizes stability, traction, and fun on demanding trails.
