Overview
Vista is our take on what a hardtail mountain bike should be…aggressive, fast, and fun! Vista is an American-made mountain bike with modern trail geometry, plus sized tires, and burly tubing. Designed as a mesh between a trail bike and dirt jump bike, the Vista doesn’t feel out of place stopping at the pump track on the way home from a trail ride. The Vista’s roomy cockpit is made for short stems and wide bars for better control on switchbacks and rock gardens. 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 or climbing that daunting hill.

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.

Just moved to Southern Nevada and wanted an AMERICAN MADE mountain bike to ride the dessert mountains - chose Wyatt because of their price-to-value and as a bonus they are Made in Wisconsin (my home state)! Loved how the bike can be custom designed/ordered on the website AND Wyatt Hrudka was extremely knowledgeable & helpful (especially for a novice like me). Bike arrived in a box 90% assembled; I also ordered some accessories. It rides like no other bike that I've ever ridden and it's bad-ass looking too!! Just ordered a 2nd set of wheels with 'street' tires so I can quickly pop them on and ride the roads (and gravel) near my home too!! Thank you Wyatt Bikes!

Working with Wyatt on my Vista build was flawless. He kept me updated from beginning to end of the process. Now to the bike… this thing rides like a dream! Hoping to get a trip scheduled to ride the white rim trail and see what it can really do!

Incredible build quality and finish, paired with perfect customer service made for a perfect buying experience especially with shortages and delays within the bike industry. The communication though out the entire process was both personal and accurate.

Very nice bike that exceeded my expectations! The welds on this bike look great and the geometry of the frame along with the quality on the components make this a very nice package! MADE IN THE USA !!!!

It would have been easy to walk into my local bike shop and purchase a Trek or Specialized off of the floor. Both are good quality bikes. However, I decided to order a Vista from Wyatt, and I couldn't be happier.
Prior to ordering, I personally spoke with the owner, Wyatt Hrudka. We talked about the different options available. At the end of the conversation, I had a clear picture in my mind of what the final product look like. I ordered without hesitation.
During the manufacturing process, Wyatt and his team kept me up to date on the progress. I decided to make a couple of changes during the process which Wyatt accommodated without issue.
The bike was delivered and assembly was simple. Due to the weather, I have not been out as much as I would like, but I only have praise for what I have experienced so far. I highly recommend Wyatt Bikes. Other manufacturers put out good products, but Wyatt is custom. I also love the frame is made in the USA!

My wife rode her new Vista this weekend and loved it! She went from her old Gary Fisher full suspension to the Vista hardtail. She wasn't disappointed and can't believe the way the new bike handles. The Vista makes riding fun again. It is fast, smooth, climbs like a goat, and is just loads of fun. It handled all the terrain we normally ride. I normally ride well out in front of her, but now she's on my tail and I actually had to let her lead in some of the downhill sections as she complained she had to brake behind me. Vista gave her a huge boost. All grins. Highly recommend! Thanks Wyatt!

Wyatt was prompt, friendly, and clear in all communication. The bike is simply awesome. I'm already using it to hopefully turn some friends into future Wyatt customers.
