Interesting that the Blue Pig & Piglet are still offered as 27.5″ wheeled bikes, front & rear. Not being judgemental, and it shows that there must still be demand.

For the Piglet in particular though, 29″ sounds like it’d make more sense for the described use-cases, in larger sizes at least. A ‘Little-Wig’, or ‘Wiglet’ if you like.

Some nice colour options, particularly the fade on the Big-Wig.

For the Scout hardtail launch, the pro riders chose 27.5 too.

Yay, another year of minimal geometry change. Still keeps my 2018 Whyte 909 contemporary.

Geometry started looking dated last time around. Surprised there aren’t bigger changes.

This colour. 👌

Hopefully more availability than previously. Tried to buy a 2021 mmmmbob a month after launch. Never came in stock again!

The only bike I’d personally be interested in is the Big Wig, as I love 29 wheels and steel hard tails. However, the sizes listed are medium, large and XL, but the reach numbers read like they are for a conservative small, medium and large bike.

The Big Wig Race has me all sentimental about my old Fisher SuperCal 😢
