Salsa Timberjack XT Z2 – 27.5″ 2023

Trail ripper or rowdy-fun bikepacking rig? Timberjack XT Z2 27.5+ lets you choose. Designed around our trail hardtail geometry, Timberjack’s aluminum frame is light enough to whip around but durable enough for backcountry bushwhacking. The 130 mm Marzocchi Z2 Rail fork handles trail punishment, keeping the ride smooth over chatter, obstacles, and features. Alternator 2.0 dropouts and on-bike storage let you adapt Timberjack for ever-changing ride goals. Shimano XT 1 x 12 components cement this as the best hardtail mountain bike for riders who want performance and versatility in one package.
