Your ticket to freedom
Maverick is not your traditional fat bike limited to snow riding. It blurs the lines between a fat bike and a hardtail mountain bike, offering a unique blend of versatility and performance. Its modern frame geometry and optional front suspension, paired with oversized tires, enables you to tackle a wide range of trails with confidence.
From finding your flow on the doubletrack, navigating sandy beaches, exploring state trails, or enjoying the solitude of snow-packed singletrack, the Maverick is your ticket to freedom. This bike is designed to break boundaries and take you further, making every ride an adventure.
The Foundation
The Maverick frame is made from premium US-sourced 6061-T6 aluminum and is built to take a beating. The front triangle uses oversized round tubing, while the rear triangle features custom extruded rectangular tubing welded to CNC’d yokes and sliding dropouts. This design minimizes frame flex, enhances torsional compliance, and maximizes power transfer, ensuring more energy is transferred from the tire to the ground.
Modern Features
The Maverick is one of the most capable and versatile fat bikes on the market. Whether you want to run a rigid fork or suspension fork to running 5.05″ tires with a narrow Q-factor crankset, the Maverick can adapt to your riding style.
The Maverick frame is suspension friendly, meaning that whether you use a Wren Carbon Rigid fork or a Wren Inverted 110mm suspension fork, the geometry remains unaffected, ensuring a consistent ride feel.
Our sliding dropouts offer 20mm of fore and aft adjustment, allowing you to modify your chainstay length, fit different tire sizes, and even run your bike as a single speed. We use high-strength T45 bolts that resist stripping and keep your sliders securely in place.
The Maverick is compatible with both internal and external dropper posts, giving you the option to keep it simple with a rigid post or enjoy the benefits of a dropper. A slot in the bottom of the seat tube accommodates an internally routed dropper, while additional mounts under the top tube allow for external routing.
The Maverick features a 100mm threaded bottom bracket, 20mm narrower than most fat bikes with 197mm rear spacing. Our newly designed CNC yokes and curved chainstays allow compatibility with any fat bike crankset designed for 190/197mm rear spacing with a Q-factor of 205mm or greater. Please note, the stock RaceFace Ride crankset has a 230mm Q-factor.
The Maverick is designed to accommodate a 26″ x 4.8″ tire, which provides optimal handling on loose trails. However, it also supports other sizes: 26″ x 5.05″, 27.5″ x 4.5″, and 29″ x 3.0″. This flexibility is achieved through our precision-engineered CNC yokes and sliding dropouts, combined with curved rectangular chainstays and seat stays.
Made in the USA
We believe in American manufacturing. As an American bicycle brand, it is our duty to actually manufacture the frames that we design. This gives us complete control over the quality of our bikes and allows us to support the American economy, the American workforce, our environment, and our freedom. Every Wyatt frame is handcrafted from start to finish using 100% American-made aluminum at our headquarters in Bangor, WI.
Powder Coated Finish
Every Wyatt frame is powder coated in-house. Powder coating is an advanced finishing process that is extremely durable and more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing when exposed to snow, rain, and the hot sun compared to liquid paint. If you decide to customize the color of your bike, you can choose from a selection of several different powder coat colors. If there isn’t a color shown on our bike builder, please contact us for custom options.
Tuned & Ready to Ride
Our goal is to make purchasing your bike online as simple and convenient as possible, with direct shipping to your door (local pickup available). No need to stress over assembly or tuning, or making a trip to a bike shop before you can ride. We fully build, tune, and test each bike before delivery. Once your bike arrives, it takes less than 30 minutes to unpack, install the front wheel and handlebars, and hit the trails.

Coming soon
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!!!
My build:
Maverick /XL frame / 27.5 x 4.5” tires

Funn Mamba pedals .
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!
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.
Every Wyatt bike is designed and manufactured in the heart of the Midwest where our passion for quality is as strong as the Mighty Mississippi.
