Features

  • Proprietary, top-shelf 6061-T6 aluminum tubing is double- and triple-butted in the main triangle for a light, responsive and durable frame with great trail feel
  • Second-generation Timberjack geometry is longer, lower and slacker for aggressive riding
  • 66° head tube and long wheelbase make for a stable ride, while a long reach and steep (75°) seat tube balance weight distribution for efficient pedaling
  • Short chainstays (adjustable from 420 to 437 mm) keep the rear end nimble for responsive handling
  • Soak up the harshness of gnarly roots, rock gardens, drops or whatever's in your path with 130 mm of suspension travel up front
  • Get your saddle out of the way for steep descents and technical sections with the included dropper post; provides 30 mm of tool-free travel adjustment
  • Alternator 2.0 dropouts expand drivetrain and setup options
  • Short chainstays and long front-center provide agility and stability on the trail
  • Front triangle space is maximized for frame bag use
  • Full-length internal routing for brake lines and shift cable housing means reliable performance in sloppy conditions, simplified maintenance and a better fit for frame bags
  • Compatible with 27.5+ or 29 in. wheels (29 in. wheels not included)
  • SM–XL frames have 2 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 an EXP Series Direct Mount Top Tube Bag (not included)
  • Pedals not included
  • NOTE: Specs and images are subject to change based on component availability
