We review the Salsa Timberjack SLX 29 - a hardtail that's ready to play, or ready to carry you over the hills and far away.

For 2021, Salsa announced a major update to the Timberjack, their alloy hardtail. Find Miles’ thoughts on the 2021 Salsa Timberjack XT 29er here, including a deep dive into its new geometry and how that carries over to bikepacking.
Great value in a hardtail mountain bike
Almost perfectly tuned geometry for trail riding and bikepacking
More mounting points than ever
Surprisingly capable
Sizing and fit is spot on
Low-end fork has limitations
Heavy. Especially the rear end
35mm handlebar and stem aren’t for everyone
Not the most forgiving frame

Just because Salsa has been making fancy carbon bikes doesn't mean they've abandoned their roots. The 2021 Salsa Timberjack is pure soul.
