Salsa Timberjack Review: Value Meets Versatility

Jul 2020 · Miles Arbour

After three months of riding the 2020 Timberjack XT 29 build on a mix of challenging British Columbia trails and several bikepacking trips, Miles reports back with his thoughts. Find the full review here, plus a comparison with five similar alloy mountain bikes…

Highs
  • Capable trail-ready geometry for chunky, technical descents and singletrack-heavy bikepacking

  • 29 x 2.6″ platform is great

  • Large main triangle and bosses under the downtube

  • Well priced and well specced build, great value

  • Shimano 12-Speed build kit

Lows
  • Seat tube angle may not be steep enough for some

  • Resin-only rotors are limiting

  • 35mm handlebar and stem

  • Lower end fork and hubs
