Ready for Adventure
Our hardtail mountain bike is built for pure fun and versatility, making it the ultimate do-it-all ride. Whether you’re ripping through the woods or cruising through town, this bike is designed to handle it all with ease. Built for riders who crave adventure in any form, the Vista series is your go-to choice for every ride.
The Frame
The Vista 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.
Key Features
The 100% U.S.-sourced aluminum tubing is light, responsive, durable, and provides an amazing trail feel.
The CNC yokes minimize frame flex, enhance torsional compliance, and maximize power transfer, ensuring more energy is transferred from the tire to the ground.
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 Vista’s roomy cockpit is designed for short stems and wide bars, giving you better control through switchbacks and rock gardens. Its slack head tube angle, low bottom bracket, and optimized chainstay length create a balanced ride, keeping you confident whether you’re tackling steep descents or powering up challenging climbs.
The Vista frame offers practical mounting options for versatile adventure setups. It includes two bottle cage mounts—one inside the frame and another on the underside of the downtube—plus three mounting points under the top tube for custom frame bags or externally routed dropper posts. Rear rack mounting bosses on the dropouts and a rack-mounted seatpost collar provide added convenience for carrying gear on extended rides.
The Vista features full-length, externally routed cables, making maintenance and adjustments straightforward and accessible. This design keeps cables protected from the elements while allowing for quick replacements or repairs without needing to thread through the frame. Ideal for riders who prioritize easy upkeep and rugged reliability on all terrains.
The Vista 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 Vista frame is compatible with both 29” and 27.5+ wheels, providing flexibility to suit different terrains and riding styles. It accommodates up to 29 x 2.6” tires for fast-rolling efficiency on rough trails, or 27.5 x 2.8” tires for added traction and comfort on technical or loose surfaces. This versatility ensures the Vista can adapt to your preferred setup and riding conditions.
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.

I am very happy with this Wyatt bike. Built like a tank but very easy to ride on the street. Looks great, rides great!

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
