We take extra care to ensure your bike arrives ready to ride. Our meticulous build and testing process can take up to 4 business days in addition to the ships by date shown before your bike is ready to ship. This attention to detail guarantees that your bike will be easy to assemble on arrival. Please note that most bikes do not come with pedals. To make the most of your new bike right away, be sure to select a pair of pedals when checking out and we will include them with the build!The Salsa MY26 Timberjack Eagle 70 Transmission is an aggressive trail hardtail mountain bike built for riders who want modern stability on steep, technical descents without giving up the direct feel and efficiency of a hardtail. A 6061-T6 alloy frame, 140mm fork, and included dropper post add real capability for rough singletrack, while Alternator 2.0 dropouts with SRAM UDH compatibility keep the platform adaptable for current and future drivetrain options.
Trail-focused advantages that matter on real rides
Progressive trail geometry - A long front-center and short chainstays balance high-speed confidence with quick handling through tight, technical sections.
140mm front travel + dropper post - More control and margin for error on chunky descents, steeper roll-ins, and high-consequence trail features.
Alternator 2.0 dropout system - Ships with fixed-position, SRAM UDH-compatible plates for broad drivetrain compatibility; optional plates (sold separately) add single-speed adjustment and support different hub standards.
Dual wheel size compatibility - Runs up to 27.5 x 2.8" for added traction and comfort, or 29 x 2.1–2.6" for speed and rollover on rough terrain.
Accessory and cargo versatility - Multiple mounts and a maximized front triangle make it easier to carry water, tools, and bikepacking gear without compromising handling.
Clean internal cable routing - Helps protect cables from trail debris and keeps the build quieter and easier to live with over time.
