A little while ago when I was purchasing my very first mountain bike I was looking for all of the brands, their repute in the market, price ranges and do they sell out of their respective country or not, and of course, which brand should I go with for my first mountain bike I think you are facing the same problem, All the brand’s list here are for the US and all of them are old/reputable brands I didn’t list any brands that are fairly new to the market since there isn’t much info available on them.
Here’s a breakdown of what you can find in this article.
- Most reputable mountain bikes brands in the USA
- gear/material availability
- Cost variety
- Market availability
- Best brands for beginner mountain bikers(reputable and budget-friendly)
- Most expensive mountain bike brands in the US(why and how).
Unlike most of the other countries, the us is rich in mountain bike brands and you can find many good mountain bikes even in low-cost ranges.
Best mountain bike brands in the United States :
Here’s the list of some of the most reputable/trusted brands in the Us right now.
- Trek
- Giant
- Huffy
- Mongoose
- Diamondback
- Specialized
- Cannondale
- Evil
- Santa Cruz
- Scott
- yeti
- Transition
- Marine
There are other companies like YT and canyon but opinions are divided on them some of the models that they released a bit earlier didn’t have so many spare parts available in the market but still, these companies are making great progress as well, but I will mostly cover the best of best in this list.
Marine may not be the most popular name that you have heard of a lot but they are making quite a nice name in the market for themselves as well so I decided to include them as well.
Gear/Materials availability :
All of these brands are innovative and they produce mountain bikes based on up-to-date geometry and keep up with the market so you won’t have a hard time searching for spare parts.
As for the materials almost all of them offer Aluminium, Carbon and steel frames as well you can find titanium and other variety as well but aluminum and carbon are the most popular materials used in today’s mountain bikes and you can choose from any of the materials and almost all are up to date in design so again you can easily find spare parts for them in the market without much effort.
Cost variety :
All of these brands offer a large buffet of costs from beginners to pro-level almost all of them do provide listing for beginner mountain bikers but of course, there are ups and downs some are better than others in the cost matter and vice versa so you can easily find everything you are looking for in your budget from as low as 500-thousands of dollars.
Market availability :
Most of these brands’ bikes are always available in the market for the takings but sometimes some models may be out of stock and some may even go away they are constantly looking into people’s interests and trying to do better with keeping the minimum budget and better quality so even if the model that you were eyeing for the most year passes by they will soon launch another one so you may have to be patient in order not to spend your money on trash.
Best brands for beginner mountain bikers(reputable and budget-friendly) :
All of the brands that I mentioned are always producing budget-friendly mountain bikes and with the cost keeping up with the quality but some brands offer a larger range for others while other brands focus on more seasoned mountain bikers, while you should always try to buy something that doesn’t dry your pocket but always look for quality as well, some bikes may meet your criteria for buying in terms of budget but they might be lacking in quality.
