Timberjack XT 29 components
Fork
The Timberjack XT 29 comes factory-installed with the RockShox Sektor fork. This has a travel range of 130mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Wheels size
The wheels on Timberjack XT 29 are the 29″ aluminum type. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Timberjack XT 29 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Dropper post
Salsa Timberjack XT 29 comes with a dropper post. Needless to say, a dropper post will come in handy on climbs and descends. You’ll fall in love with it at first sight!
