First off, a massive thank you to all of you! You’re incredible – 14,779 of our readers took the time to answer up to 50 questions. And as if that wasn’t impressive enough, many of you wrote entire essays in the open text fields! That’s anything but obvious, especially with an average completion time of nearly 20 minutes. Hats off to all of you! So, grazie mille, muchas gracias, tack, merci beaucoup, どうも, dzięki, obrigado, спасибо, hvala, teşekkürler, 谢谢你, شكرا, děkuji, hartelijk bedankt, thanks a lot – and, of course, thank you very much!
What will happen to your answers? It’s simple: you’re our polar star! Your feedback actively helps shape the planning of our future reports and stories, allowing us to cover the topics that matter most to you. Your responses are also invaluable for our group tests, where space for bikes and components is limited. In short, you’ll have a huge influence on how we work.
Now it gets really exciting! Below, we’ll reveal which brands you see at the top in 2025 – whether it’s the makers of the best mountainbike products or the ones on your wishlist for your next purchase.
The best mountain bike brand of 2024
The best mountain bike brands of 2024 in detail
How are the results determined? It’s simple: in our reader survey, we asked which brand you think builds the best bikes and which one tops your shopping list. As a global magazine, we took the opportunity to analyse the feedback from our German-speaking and international readers separately – and uncovered some truly fascinating differences along the way.

Best brand of 2024: Parts and accessories
A great bike is more than just the sum of its parts – that much is clear. But even the best bike is only as strong as its weakest link. So, which brands deliver the absolute best products? Just like with complete bikes, we’ve also analysed the votes for components and accessories separately from our German-speaking and international readers. The result? Some categories show fascinating consensus, while others reveal clear differences between markets. The “Best Brand” title went to the brands that garnered the most votes overall – regardless of the language and region. Want the details? Take a look for yourself!
The lucky winner
One of the reasons we love our reader survey so much? Not only does it help us get to know you better but also gives us the chance to surprise you with fantastic prizes! Together with our giveaway partner RAAW, we raffled off a RAAW Jibb V2 among all participants. Our lucky reader Adam has already happily received their bike.
