Leading Competitors
With most of the 2021 bike collection now available in stores, there's a wide array of options for those looking to get their next ride. For newcomers or those interested in exploring different brands, we've compiled our top Mountain Bike contenders for this season.
GT
GT Bikes have been a staple in the cycling world since their early days in BMX during the 80s, and today they are globally recognized with a lineup of bike models covering all disciplines. The 2021 mountain bike range features the Fury, Force, and Sensor as their full suspension models, and the Aggressor and Avalanche as their hardtail options.
Why Switch to GT Bikes in 2021
The Fury Expert 2021, with its carbon frame and contemporary geometry, is adept at handling diverse terrains in any weather, making it ideal for passionate downhill enthusiasts. However, if you're a beginner seeking something more leisurely, the entry-level models in the Aggressor range are excellent for commuting or weekend outings.
NS
NS Bikes continue to thrive in the cycling industry. This includes their team acquisition of the Godziek brothers, with Dawid Godziek fresh from an X Games Gold victory in 2019! The NS 2021 series features the Snabb, Synonym, Define, and Fuzz models, each loaded with impressive specifications!

This year’s Fuzz model has been thoroughly tested by Szymon Godziek at the Red Bull Rampage, while also earning accolades by reaching podiums at major downhill events globally. The Fuzz now also features a reengineered frame allowing for a tyre size increase from 27.5” in last year's model to 29”!
Mondraker
Mondraker has been driving innovation since 2001 when they launched. Never afraid to take risks and push the boundaries of what a mountain bike can achieve, they consistently see their results dominate podiums! The 2021 lineup includes the Enduro Foxy R, XC Race F-Podium Carbon, and the remarkable Super Enduro SuperFoxy Carbon R!
Why Switch to Mondraker in 2021
Renowned for their longer frame geometry, Mondraker bikes offer a unique and rewarding experience, allowing riders to lean further forward and experience unparalleled handling on downhill turns!
Mafiabike
Among all the contenders on our list, Mafiabike might initially seem like the outlier. Established in 2009 and known for producing remarkable BMX models, their involvement in wheelie bike culture led to the release of the Lucky 6 STB or Street Terrain Bike. Built on a traditional mountain bike frame but reinforced for wheelie riding, this bike is an excellent choice for commuting and can handle not just streets but also rougher terrains!
Why Switch to Mafiabike in 2021
The Lucky6 STB is a fantastic option for those seeking a fun commuter bike with a robust mountain bike frame, or explore their Black Jack models for dirt riding!
With all the innovation packed into this year's selection of mountain bikes, rest assured that no matter which brand you choose, there will be a model that meets your requirements!
