Buy Mountain Bike USA

Well, this is certainly a controversial, complicated and constantly evolving topic. There are so many bicycle manufacturers, bicycle types and popular brand names sold in the US, that it can be difficult to find a comprehensive summary and to sort it all out.

The top 20 most popular brand listing that I've compiled here is not based on the number of bikes sold alone or on the quality or perceived quality of the bicycles. Most of the manufacturers listed here also sell different types (road, mountain, hybrid, etc.) and the list below is not broken down by type or category.

This listing is intended to be a guide as to what brands are currently the most popular in the USA, at the time of this writing (since brands come and go and the sales of various types rise and fall).

The Top 20 Most Popular Brands and the types that they sell

  1. Trek - Road, Triathlon , Mountain Hardtail , Mountain Full-Suspension , Urban , Path, Cruiser , Women's , Kids
  2. Schwinn - Road, Commuter, Comfort, Cruisers, Electric, Mountain Bikes, BMX, Kids
  3. Giant - Road, Mountain, Giant for Women, Lifestyle, Hybrid (HCT), BMX, Kids
  4. Cannondale - Road, Mountain, Women's Recreation (many sub categories)
  5. Mongoose - BMX Bikes (Team Bikes, Freestyle Bikes, Dirt Street Bikes) Mountain / Pavement (Dual Suspension, Jumping, Hardtail XC, Comfort, Commuter, Road Alternative, 
  6. Raleigh - Road, Performance Hybrid, Hybrid, Comfort, Mountain, Cruiser, Women, Youth
  7. Specialized Road, Multi Street, Globe (commute, comfort), Dirt/Street/Vert (BMX), Kids ATB
  8. Diamondback - MTN Full Suspension , Mountain Hardtail , Devine Designs , Comfort ,Cruiser , Performance Hybrid , Hybrid , Youth , BMX

  18. GT - Mountain, BMX, Road, Womens
  19. Rocky Mountain - Mountain, Road, Urban & Path, Ladies Only
  20. Scott - Mountain, Road, Women's Junior's

Some of the popular brands listed here can only be purchased at specialty shops or independent dealers. Although this marketing technique makes these brands harder to find, in some cases this it improves the perceived quality of the bikes over brands that are distributed to the mass market or that can be easily found at sporting goods stores or even online.

I have included the types or categories that each manufacturer sells under the brand names listed. The type descriptions were, in most cases, taken directly from each manufacturers website in order to not only let you know what kind of bikes they make but also how the company perceives the types that they make and how they market them to you.
