Bean's Salsa Timberjack is loaded down with interesting tales while satisfying a selectively-sourced, budget-forward build...
Affordable aluminum frame
Versatile adjustable dropouts for chainstay length and single-speed setup
Good platform for budget builds and upgrades
Lightweight wheelset (1450g)
Quality hubs (DT Swiss 350/240)
Custom frame bag
ShiRAMano drivetrain mix for durability and value
TRP Slate EVO brakes with easy bleed and good support in US
Frame not steel
Geometry dated compared to current models (68° HTA, 73.5° STA)
RockShox SID fork considered forgettable; Pike would have been better for tire clearance and damper
GXP cranks tend to eat BB bearings
TRP brakes have limited small parts support in Canada
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…
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
Seat tube angle may not be steep enough for some
Resin-only rotors are limiting
35mm handlebar and stem
Lower end fork and hubs
