Trail ripper or rowdy-fun bikepacking rig? Timberjack XT Z2 27.5+ lets you choose. Designed around our trail hardtail geometry, Timberjacks 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.

Alternator Dropouts

Tune your ride characteristics and switch to single speed with ease. Our swappable dropout plates allow for multiple drivetrain options.

On-Bike Storage

Carry more on your bike and less on your body. Our frames and forks feature mounts for extra bottles, camping gear, and ride accessories.

Frame Protection

Worry less about bike damage. Our frames and forks are designed and built to hold up to the rugged adventures you put them through.

6061-T6 ALUMINUM TUBING

Timberjack is built from our proprietary, top-shelf 6061-T6 aluminum tubing, which is double- and triple-butted in the main triangle for a light, responsive, and durable frame with great trail feel.

TIMBERJACK GEOMETRY

Our second-generation Timberjack geometry is longer, lower, and slacker for aggressive riding. A 66-degree head tube and long wheelbase make for a stable ride, while a long reach and steep (75-degree) seat tube balance weight distribution for efficient pedaling. Short chainstays (adjustable from 420-437 mm) keep the rear end nimble for responsive handling.

130 MM SUSPENSION FORK

Soak up the harshness of gnarly roots, rock gardens, drops, or whatevers in your path with 130 mm of suspension travel up front. Timberjack accommodates forks with up to 150 mm of travel.

ADJUSTABLE TRANZX DROPPER POST

Get your saddle out of the way for steep descents and technical sections with the included dropper post. 30 mm of tool-free travel adjustment lets you dial in the right travel for your fit and riding style.

ALTERNATOR 2.0 DROPOUTS

Our adjustable Alternator dropout system lets you run Timberjack geared or single-speed and accommodates multiple hub standards. Built-in adjustability gives you 17 mm of wheelbase travel so you can dial in your preferred ride characteristics.

BOTTLE & ACCESSORY MOUNTS

SM-XL frames have two bottle mounts-including a Three-Pack mount on the downtube-in the main triangle (XS frames have only the Three-Pack mount on the downtube). All sizes feature an accessory mount on the underside of the down tube, plus top tube mounts for our EXP Series Direct Mount Top Tube Bag means room for more ride essentials. Rear rack mounts open up possibilities for larger loads.

FULL-LENGTH INTERNAL ROUTING

Full-length internal routing for brake lines and shift cable housing means more reliable performance in sloppy conditions, simplified maintenance, and a better fit for frame bags.

WHEEL AND TIRE OPTIONS

Timberjack is compatible with both 27.5 x 2.8" and 29 x 2.1-2.6" wheel and tire combinations.
