If you are new to mountain biking, a great hardtail will help you learn lines and handle a trail better than a full-suspension bike ever will. Salsa’s 2nd generation Timberjack is longer, lower, and slacker, giving it an aggressive trail eating ride that will make you want to go for another lap. Equipped with 1 by 12 Shimano Deore group set, you get plenty of mechanical advantage to take the edge off the climb trails and fire roads. Big 29in. wheels and plush 2.6in. Maxxis tires, roll easily over roots and rocks. A RockShox front fork helps smooth out the trail and takes the edge off your landings. Outfitted with a dropper post collaboration between Salsa and TranzX, that allows for up to 30mm of adjustability, no tools required. Allowing you to personalize your dropper, a key component that takes you from comfortably seated in the climbs, to flowing freely on the descents at the push of a lever.
