Bean's Salsa Timberjack is loaded down with interesting tales while satisfying a selectively-sourced, budget-forward build...
Affordable aluminum frame ($150 used, $700 new)
Versatile geometry with adjustable dropouts (420-437mm chainstays)
Compatible with 27+, 29, 29+ tires and mullet setups
Good platform for budget builds and future upgrades
Lightweight wheelset (1450g) with high-quality DT Swiss hubs
Frame is aluminum, not steel
RockShox SID fork lacks tire clearance and damper oil volume compared to Pike
ZTTO dropper remote is serviceable but not high-end
GXP cranks tend to eat BB bearings

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
