Mullet mountain bikes combine a 29-inch front wheel for stability with a 27.5-inch rear wheel for agility. The result is a bike that rolls fast, corners sharply and feels incredibly confident on steep, technical terrain.
Why choose a mullet MTB?
This mixed-wheel setup is ideal for riders who want the roll-over benefits of a 29er without losing the playful feel of a smaller rear wheel. Mullet bikes are especially popular for enduro racing, bike park laps and terrain where quick direction changes matter. If you prefer a more traditional setup, explore our 29-inch MTBs, or for maximum agility check out 27.5-inch MTBs.
Key things to think about
- Front-end traction and control from the 29-inch wheel.
- Rear-wheel agility and quicker acceleration from the 27.5-inch wheel.
- Suspension and geometry designed specifically for mixed-wheel performance.
