Made in USA

Just like the name implies, Maverick is different from the rest of the pack. It is an American-made fat bike with modern trail geometry and massive tires. It is the missing tool to keep your free riding spirit alive when the snow hits the ground. The Maverick’s roomy cockpit is made for short stems and wide bars for better control over the big front tire. The slack head tube angle, low bottom bracket, and optimized chain stay lengths make for a balanced ride to keep you feeling confident on the steep downhill sections and allow you to climb like a mountain goat on those daunting hills. Maverick is designed for having fun whenever and wherever you ride.

A new design

We’ve taken a different approach to frame design by using oversized American-made 6061 tubing up front and rectangular tubing in the rear, matted to CNC’d chain stay and seat stay yokes. This burly design reduces frame flex, improves torsional compliance, and enhances power transfer from each pedal stroke, while giving our bikes the unique aggressive look that we are becoming known for. The incorporation of CNC’d yokes also allows our frames to have greater tire and chain ring clearance, while creating stronger weld joints due to a more precise manufacturing process.

Finish Options

Factory Raw

A current trend in the hand crafted bike industry is choosing a bike that is delivered with a factory raw finish. The factory raw look best reveals the manufacturing quality and technical details of the frame. Factory raw frames are not coated after production, but move directly to assembly. Over time, an oxide layer/patina forms on the frame, causing the shine of the raw aluminium to fade slightly. With the help of a polishing compound or cleaner, the old shine can be restored in a few easy steps.

Powder Coat

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 build page, please contact us for custom options. Powder coating is an advanced finishing process that is a extremely durable and more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing when exposed to snow, rain, and the hot sun.

Maverick

This is my first FAT tire bike and Wyatt hit expectations on all accounts. When going through the purchasing process, i had a lot of questions that Wyatt was very helpful in answering based on the type of riding that i would be doing. The bike arrived on time and did not take much time to assemble the few components that were disassembled to ship. The quality is top notch and the ride is awesome. My riding ranges from off-road trails, gravel roads, and some paved road areas. The standard drive train works well and is geared to travel up some good offroad grades without burning out a part time rider. I upgraded the front forks to the inverted wren shocks, moved to the 27.5x3.8 wheels and swapped out the standard seat post for a dropper post. I am happy with all the upgrades, worth the additional. I plan to try it out this winter in some snow. If you are looking for a top notch FAT tire bike from a company that helps fit the bike to rider, Wyatt is for you..

Love it.

I purchased a custom color maverick with some different parts that I wanted installed. They were very accommodating to my request. Their customer service is excellent. The frame showed up flawless. I love that it’s American made. First ride was great and I can’t wait to get some miles on.

Who Manufactured Your Bicycle Frame?

I purchased three Mavericks for my wife, daughter, and me. After about nine months of riding, we are loving them more than ever, and my daughter is looking for opportunities to ride in the snow!
I "grew up" riding a 1991 Stumpjumper in the mountains of Central PA and after a ton of research, the Wyatt Maverick became the clear winner for our family. Wyatt is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and shared his wisdom while selecting components. After purchasing, my daughter and I made the trip to visit the shop and see how our Mavericks are built - just amazing!
How do you place a value on knowing the people who manufactured, heat treated, and powder-coated your bicycle frame, in Wisconsin, and all from USA materials?
Riding has been a mix of logging roads, trails, gravel, and even the beach (which is phenomenal). I love how this bike is stable, maneuverable, and climbs like crazy! But be prepared for lots of questions - a Wyatt Maverick is an attention magnet!

A1 Craftsmanship!!

Absolutely thrilled small rider here!

My husband got one two years ago and I have coveted it ever since. I could feel the difference between well-known brand rentals and his Wyatt, and this spring I finally ordered my own. I did my first big ride yesterday and I was blown away! The small fits me perfectly (I'm 5'4") and the beautiful craftsmanship translates into a fun and responsive ride. I am so excited to get back out there!

Great Ride!

I've had my Maverick for about 6 weeks now and have been very satisfied with it's performance. My primary motivation for riding is fitness and fun, and my Maverick checks those boxes admirably. The gearing has been appropriate for my trails and it rides very comfortably. Since I live a couple hours away from Wyatt's shop I was able to see the build process and talk with him about the specs that make sense for my riding.
Very pleased with the bike and proud to support an American Made manufacturer! Thanks Wyatt and Team!

Great bike

I’ve had my maverick for about a month now and been out on a few rides and I’m loving it from the fit and feel of the geometry, shifting, brakes, and have had a lot of people complement on the colours I picked.
I’m 6’5” and this xl frame fits me perfectly and is such a pleasure to ride, I’m looking forward to some longer rides this summer.
Great bike thanks Wyatt and team.

First Fat Tire Bike

It was impossible to find a fat tire bike in southern California in late 2021 so I searched for dealers that had such bikes and learned about Wyatt Bikes in Wisconsin (my home state). I spoke with the owner (Wyatt) and he seemed very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their bikes so I placed an order. My bike arrived 16 weeks later (longer than projected 10-12 weeks). The shipment was packaged extremely well and assembly/adjustments were quite straightforward and took less than an hour. The Owners Manual is very useful and complete. The Wisconsin made frame was very nicely manufactured and the raw finish that I elected is beautiful. Considering the frame is XL with its humongous tires, the bike is surprisingly light. The Maverick is a pleasure to ride with easy shifting and great brakes. Plus, the sound it makes on the pavement is daunting to others on the road!! Very happy with my purchase

Black-On-Black "Johnny Cash Special" - Large

New Bike Day! My Wyatt Maverick arrived today and I could not be more pleased. The black-on-black color scheme looks as slick and rebellious as a young Johnny Cash. All that's missing are the dark shades.

With the Terrene Cake Eater 27.5 X 4.5" tires, the ride is smooth, efficient, and solid. The SRAM NX 1 X 12 drivetrain will give me the extra gears I need for long days in the saddle, once it's set up for bikepacking, and the frame geometry seems relaxed, yet aggressive.

Wyatt's customer service has been exceptional through the building process, accommodating some last minute changes without issue, and keeping me updated on the manufacturing process throughout. And I'm absolutely elated that the frame was handmade in the USA, with aluminum made in the USA, and American labor.

Looking forward to putting this bike to the test on some upcoming bikepacking adventures.
