Rode an entry level hard tail for 8 years - Rockhopper Comp 29er.

Wanted a bike made in the USA so sold my used bike to a buddy and applied that cash to a large Wyatt Vista.

WOW - I knew it would be an upgrade but wasn't ready for how much of an upgrade the Wyatt Vista really is! The bike handles like a dream, even rocking 29 inch wheels.

The sizing recommendation was spot on - am 6'4" and was between XL and L sizes; recommendation for a more nimble ride was to size down to a L and that was perfect. The handle bars have some sweep making repositioning on the bike effortless.

Tires are 2.35s and they grip in this Florida sand with no problem.

The really awesome touch is the bike arrives 90% ready to ride - lock on grips are installed, hydraulic brakes are ready, drive train is dialed in, grippy Raceface Chester pedals are included. A chain guard also comes installed and there is a small front fender included! Only major assembly you need to do is install the handle bars to the stem. Very nice touch is Wyatt includes basic tools to install everything.

To do it right, recommend you have the following on hand:
- Torque wrench
- Blue loctite
- Pedal wrench
- Bike grease
- Chain lube

After assembly, just had to dial in the brake lever position and seat position.

This bike is built like a tank and light as can be (31 lbs is damn good).

If you've put grown your entry level hardtail and want one heck of an upgrade - GET THIS BIKE

This is a great bike with a very high quality frame and all high end parts. I have had 4 mountain bikes as an adult, one going back 30
years and this is both my first fat tire as well as my first electric bike. I love how it handles any terrain and I appreciate that it’s a hard tail with a suspension fork and the suspension in the dropped seat post really smooths out the ride. The dropper post is also a first for me. I feel like the rigid frame really handles the torque of the powerful motor very well. Overall, I am really enjoying how it rides.

The buying process was smooth. Wyatt answers the phone and easily answered the few questions I had.. Build time took about a week. Bike came well packed and it was easy to put together. Everything that could be was welll tuned and I was rolling in 10 minutes.

If your looking at this, you already know it’s an investment. I believe that the value is there with all the quality that goes in and I am very happy with it.

raw finish looks very nice in person, build quality is 100%...
any Ti version coming
Geometry is spot on climbs well & planted on steep hills, easy to maneuver on switchbacks, stable and solid going downhill.
i love my full suspension Mutz and was totally impressed with this Maverick frame a different kind of fun riding on a hardtail, lighter, stiff and nimble on jumps too.

Great customer service, Wyatt was hands on to answer and give suggestions on every component spec that would suit your sizing on the frame and retain the bike's geometry.
Size Small 5'8"
26er 65mm rims, Mastodon max travel for the frame, Van Helga 4.2, 165mm cranks, 40mm stem, 32T Oval

Thank you Wyatt and company

Recently got a fat tire after years of wishing. Only have a few rides in but this is a very solid and comfortable bike. My son helped me with the options and so far am thrilled. Process was easy and Wyatt was a pleasure to work with!

The Maverick is a solid piece of riding equipment. Heavy duty well made American bike. Definitely not a bike for weight weenies. It is what you would expect for a "dirt bike without a motor" as one of my friends put it. I opted for the Hayes Dominion brakes and am not disappointed. They stop on a dime and give charge. I swapped out the Schawble almighty tires for a set of Ultraverse tires; what a difference. The Schawbles were rather squirley and made me feel unstable especially on loose surfaces like gravel over hard pack. The Ultraverse is more heavy duty and has a tread design more like an Enduro bike. They work great with the 26 inch wheels. Only other thing I would like to change is the 30 tooth chain ring on the crank. A 24 or 26 tooth would provide for more leverage when climbing. Was worth the investment and wait. Two thumbs up.

Like several others, due to my height (6'6") found Wyatt since the XL Maverick had the geometry to fit. It does indeed me fit well and I've been beyond pleased that works even better than my S6 Stumpjumper EVO.

Wyatt was great in being flexible in adjusting some components that I wanted and building up an extra set of wheels with 27mm rims that I use to make the Maverick my gravel bike during summer.

It has a been a joy to ride, particularly on the trail in snow. Geometry is a perfect match for me and have been stoked to find how well it climbs. Been able to make it up sections of trail even in the snow that I struggle clearing during the summer.

It is beautifully made and makes me smile every time I ride it.

I never had a bike that really fit before. 6'5" with a 6'8' arm span, size 15 shoes, I always had to get a long high stem, clamp the seat too high then balance like a circus bear on a unicycle, trying to stay in the sweet spot. I went to pick up my bike, Wyatt raised the bars one spacer and it fit perfect (with just the stubby little stem like the cool guys have on their bikes). I did a custom order for an XL Maverick: Mastodon pro, PNW dropper, koyote bars, sq lab grips and a Koda saddle, 4.5 studded dillingers for the winter. I had some 29ers built in Wausau with some Wicked Will tires. I intended to use the 29ers mainly for gravel but the bike feels and grips better than my full suspension carbon fiber with a butcher on front. I'm pretty sure it is going to be my go to year round ride. It's my families 2nd Wyatt so I already knew about the "Maverick Magic". Somehow, it is heavier than the other bikes but feels lighter and goes faster! The bike is made right here in Wisconsin, you can meet Wyatt and get a quick tour of the shop if you want. If your tall you have to try one of these xl Mavericks to see what you missing, I doubt you can find anything that comes close. Even if your not tall you will be amazed at how this bike somehow rides like a full suspension bike feeling both responsive and stable. Thanks Wyatt!

The maverick is a great choice if you’re looking for a fat bike with modern geo and that’s capable on the trails. I’ve ridden this bike on the beach and on the trails with steep, technical terrain. This thing moves! Power transfer is great and is pretty nimble for being a fat bike. As with any bike, tire choice and setup is crucial to riding g dynamics, but from a frame perspective, this thing is SOLID, stable, and super-fun!

As a 6’6” former mountain bike racing enthusiast, I came across Wyatt Bicycles to replace my full suspension bike. After a lot of internet scouting, I kept coming back to Wyatt. I know of no other bike company where you can call, or email your concerns and you speak to the owner/ manufacturer himself. That was the most impressive thing. As a tall rider I had many questions about frame sizing and overall fit,( also my first Fat bike), but Wyatt assured me that the Maverick would fit me. I had never purchased a bike without first trying it out, but after speaking to him personally , I decided to order one.
I’m glad I did!
What an impressive build, beefy, modern geometry, and just plain fun to ride.
The bike handles great on all surfaces, and is not sluggish as expected ( being a fat bike).
This bike suits me just fine, and I recommend checking out Wyatt Bicycles if your a tall rider, and looking for a modern Fat bike for your adventures!
Go have fun!!!

Just having a relatively new purchase, I've gotten to take the maverick out every weekend to Labanon hills MTB park, and the confidence it brings is remarkable. Its my first fat bike, but i've test rode a few brands to see if i wanted 26, 27, wider or narrower, front suspension or rigid. In the end, there was a 27.5x4.5 with a deore and wren rigid Wyatt that still keeps me smiling even moving up to the more difficult trails. I found myself trying to put the ride in words, its comfortable, stable, and has a very dual suspension pop feeling, without the shocks? not for nothing, i still admire the craftsmanship and welds on this bike to no end, Wyatt has really done a great job manufacturing these!

My new Maverick fat tire bike has quickly turned into my go to bike. I love riding it on all types of terrain. I can decide to ride on a bike path and then switch to full off road trails without having to think whether or not the bike can handle it. This makes my bike rides very enjoyable, so whatever I happen to be in the mood for, my bike is always ready! Very good quality bike. Great ride quality and the brakes and shifter work fantastic. I couldn't recommend the bike more. If you are considering a mountain or fat tire bike, you owe it to yourself to check out one of Wyatt's bikes before making your purchase. You won't be disappointed.

So I put some serious mileage on my XL Maverick last winter and there was never, ever, ever a point that I wasn't smiling. So I did switch up some of the components to better fit my size and age - I'm 6-6, 240lb with 37.5" arms and 36.5" inseam and 14-15 winter boot. Love to drop the post on steep stuff and climbing on this bike is awesome. I even take it on the jump / drop lines when snow and trail conditions are good. My XL triangle bag fits nicely within the frame. My back doesn't hurt anymore after a long time in the saddle. Simply put, this bike is modern geometry that matches the trails and desires of today's riders. I see a few riders out there on the trails that are my height and sometimes I wonder if they would benefit from riding a Maverick. I certainly did!

Best handling bike ever ridden nice Handlebars and suspension shift’s smooth fun to ride and looks good

I have a Wyatt Maverick, the best bike I've ever owned. But there are rides and days I just want an Ebike. I've had 2 China made bikes that I settled for. When I needed to replace the 2nd bike I couldn't find what I was looking for. I kept saying I wish Wyatt built one. So I called to ask and to my surprise they had a frame in the works and placed my order. This is exactly what I was looking for. Quality of Wyatt frames is something to be proud to own. The quick response from Wyatt on the phone calls and emails is much appreciated. Customer service in general is outstanding. I couldn't be happier with this company.

Working with Wyatt and Wyatt bikes on the build for my Maverick modeled after the Nasty bike was so easy and stress free. Wyatt knows what he is doing and I could not be more pleased with my new fat tire bike. I was updated with each phase of the build and Wyatt took the time to fit the bike to me when I picked it up.

American made by Wyatt Bikes is the only way to go. I cannot recommend them enough and I know you won’t be disappointed if you check them out.
