The Horsethief Carbon Frameset is where your dream trail bike begins. The Horsethief frameset can be built with either 29-inch or 27.5-plus wheels, and the flip chip allows for subtle geometry tweaks. The Split Pivot rear suspension technology and 120mm Fox Float DPS Performance Elite shock are a recipe for incredible small bump compliance and traction. With this solid foundation in place, just add the parts that make you happy—we can’t wait to see what you do with it.

We designed and built Horsethief SX Eagle to be your versatile trail 29er, your do-it-all full-suspension fun machine. We started with a double- and triple-butted, heat-treated 6066-T6 aluminum frame to provide stiffness and durability. Then we gave it 140mm front and 120mm rear travel, our Split Pivot suspension system, and all-around geometry for tackling lines in all types of terrain. SRAM's SX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain is smooth and reliable wherever you may roam.

Ample accessory mounts and dual wheel size compatibility add more versatility to the package, making Timberjack a well-rounded ripper that likes to party.
