  • “The longer, slacker Timberjack will handle descents better and feel more stable at speed. I find this style to be more versatile.”

    Thank you, Frank. I’m more interested in XC but would also like to be able to do some trail style riding. Are the forks pretty much the same?

    How about the Specialized Chisel Comp 1x? Thank you for the reply.

    Thank you for the reply. I’m still learning about the different types of MTBs but my understanding is XC bikes are more for racing/ climbing while trail bikes are more focused on singletrack technical downhills. With that understanding, I’m assuming that it’s fine to use a trail bike for XC style riding but the same can’t be said for XC bikes. I’ve read that the Timberjack is a pretty versatile bike so even though I’m more interested in XC riding, the TJ would work just fine. Also, technical downhills do sound like something I’d like to dabble in eventually. I narrowed it down to these two bikes because of price. They are least expensive 1x’s I could find. I also considered the Specialized Chisel Comp 1x but it’s over $200 more than both bikes. What do you think about the Chisel?
