I’m going to preface this post by saying that you really can’t go wrong when buying a new mountain bike these days. Pretty much every mountain bike brand delivers great bikes and you’d be hard-pressed to find one that isn’t up-to-date with modern geometry or great components.

Let’s just say that mountain bikes have come looong way over the past few years.

So what should you be looking for when choosing a brand? It really comes down to personal preference, budget, dealer network, and availability.

In this post, I round up all mtb brands around the world and provide a few details to help you find the best bike for you. There’s no one right answer, so take your time to do proper research before pulling the trigger on your new set of two wheels.
