Welcome to Mullet Cycles. When the 27.5” wheel came out in 2012, our founder Mike Vidovich swapped out the 29” rear wheel on the bikes he sold out of his shop Timberline Cycles, in Colorado Springs. Being a dirt bike rider and mountain bike rider since the 70’s, he understood the benefits that a dirt bike platform (mixed wheel) delivered. Though these “frankenbikes” had many advantages, they came with many disadvantages. In order to correct the short comings, he developed his own geometry in collaboration with a bike brand he sold through his shop. The success of his bike model lead to the bike company cutting ties with him. A couple months later, Miles walked into his shop. After hearing the story and riding his bike, there was a common understanding between them that mixed wheel bikes would eventually be adopted by big box brands. Not wanting to wait, Miles took it upon himself to develop a mixed wheel bike brand even though the platform was banned to race on and viewed by many as a gimmick. They came up with the name Mullet, trademarked it, and started selling their bikes under the brand name Mullet Cycles in 2017.

 The Geometry, Capability and Design is what sets these bikes apart from everything else. There aren’t any mixed wheel bikes that use our geometry. There aren’t any bikes that have the capability to run 3.0 tires and a 38T chainring. And there aren’t any full suspension bikes that use needle bearings other than Peacemaker. Every design element on these bike has a specific purpose. From the CNC dropouts to the head tube length and everything in-between. They were created from the ground up with the combined knowledge of a 50+ year obsession with mountain bikes. The result is designing maintenance free bikes that are fast and capable on any type of terrain. They’re more difficult to go OTB and rock strikes while being stable and nimble. Whether it’s climbing 3k feet of elevation on 30< mile rides or descending double diamonds at bike parks. There is nothing that a Mullet bike can’t do.
