2024 Salsa Timberjack Frame
The Salsa Timberjack frame is full of potential. Build it into a high-end trail toy or a fun parts-bin bikepacking rig. The aluminum frames progressive trail geometry rewards downhill skill but is plenty capable of climbing with finesse. On-bike storage keeps the weight of your ride essentials down low on your frame rather than on your back.
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.
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.
