The Best Mountain Bikes of 2020
In the past year, we’ve ridden and evaluated quite 100 of the highest mountain bikes—everything from budget hardtails to do-it-all trail models to bomber downhill race bikes. We found entry-level hardtails that are truly capable of fewer than $900. And excellent full-suspension bikes for fewer than $1,500, which was unprecedented just a couple of years ago. And in fact, we discovered near-magical options that cost three and 4 times that. Check out five of our top picks below, or scroll deeper for extended reviews of those bikes and other high-ranking options, plus buying advice.
