Who are the Best Mountain Bike Companies with the Most Awesome Bikes?
Mountain biking entails the sport of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain. Most mountain bikes share similar characteristics that underscore durability and performance in rough terrain: wide, knobby tires, large frame tubing, front fork or dual suspension shock absorbers.
Mountain bike is incredibly fun. It is a huge passion of mine. I love flying down a trail with the sun setting on the horizon, a cool breeze and the adrenalin pumping. Mountain biking is a universal sport and the most popular form of cycling. It can be taken as seriously as you like- for a gentle cruise in the local woods to flying off huge jumps and pulling tricks.
But who are the best mountain bike producers behind the sport? If you want to buy a new mountain bike where do you start looking? There are many cheap alternative bikes of poor quality. This can really ruin the experience so getting a good bike is crucial.The top bike companies are usually pretty reliable for quality.

Bike Companies
- Kona Mountain Bikes
- Kona Bikes is a bicycle company in Ferndale, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia. It specializes in high-performance mountain bikes, racing and touring bicycles. The company name comes from the owners' love of Kailua-Kona in Hawaii.
The company was founded in 1988 by Jacob Heilbron, Dan Gerhard and early MTB champion Joe Murray, who has since moved to Voodoo Bikes. Heilbron and Gerhard still own and run the company.
Kona has been developing partnerships with bike parks, primarily with Whistler Blackcomb Bike Park, in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, where riders can rent versions of the Stinky. Other partner bike parks are in Austria and Italy.
The bikes are reliable and well designed. You won't be disappointed buying a Kona bike. - Chain Reaction Cycles

- Magura
- Why choose MAGURA brakes and suspension?
Know-how
MAGURA has always been a pioneer of hydraulic brakes for bikes producing the first widely accepted stoppers as early as 1987. The knowledge gained from over 60 years of experience developing brakes for BMW motorcycles made the technology transfer possible.
There are good suspension forks and good disc brakes out there. However, the interaction between the two can often be a let down. Not so with MAGURA forks, that are built with the main specification that they are to be used with powerful disc brakes. All MAGURA forks are approved for disc brakes up to 210mm rotor diameter!
Reliability
The reliability of MAGURA products is legendary. Our components have been celebrated by the bike press for years. German consumers are very demanding (have a look on their cars%u2026!) and bike components are no exception to that rule. Since 1998 every year 20.000 readers of German Bike Magazine,"Mountain Bike", have voted for MAGURA, ten times in a row, as the "Best Brand", in the category brakes.
Low maintenance/environmentally friendly
MAGURA brakes work with mineral oil, are therefore uncomplicated to work with,(no poisonous/carcinogenic brake fluid) giving years of trouble free service. In a nutshell: mineral is nicer stuff to deal with - safe our planet!
Guarantee*
