People passionate about bikes and biking are fully aware of the top brands that manufacture them as well as the different types of bicycles, frames, components, accessories, and even clothing. The bikes themselves range from high-performance bikes used in competitions, racing, time-trials, triathlons, cross country, mountain bikes, e-bikes, and bikes for recreational use.
Exotic Italian Brands
Like Italy’s famous exotic car manufacturers, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati, the bicycle industry too has top brand names, and one of the best performance bike manufacturers is Italy’s De Rosa. They have stayed on top of their field because they have kept up with what modern bikers like and dislike. When it came to design, they used the latest in engineering technology and metallurgy to stay above others in this field. Besides making class-leading performance and racing bikes, they have also come up with strong and sturdy single speed De Rosa mountain bikes which are perfect for riding over rough terrain. These bikes do not have the multiple gearing systems, cables, shifters, and other paraphernalia of road bikes, but are usually single speed bikes which are built to handle the harsh and rough outdoor terrain, but are reliable, and easy to maintain.
Single-Speed Mountain Bikes
Another very popular mountain bike comes all the way from Taiwan, but it has been designed and engineered in Germany and supply cannot meet with the demand for the Merida mountain bike. While there are many other manufacturers in this category, the Merida mountain bikes are rated by bicycle riders as one of the best mountain bikes in the world. These bikes, as a rule, do not come with multiple gearing systems, cables or other accessories, because it is difficult to handle steep inclines and climbs. Instead they are manufactured as a single speed mountain bike, but is made from high tech lightweight materials which are solid in construction, and manufactured to handle all kinds of weather, terrain, and steep angles.
American Bike Offering
Besides the famous Italian, German, and Taiwanese cross country or mountain bike manufacturers, there is another specialist cross country bike manufacturer which comes from the United States of America. They started manufacture in 1976 and have come up with the bestselling and popular Trek single speed mountain bike. This wonder bike has been manufactured using carbon fiber materials as well as superlight aluminum, in an effort to keep its weight down. Trek has many models of cross country and mountain bikes, but one of their most popular models is the super lightweight but incredibly strong and fast, Superfly. This model has won many awards in the cross country and mountain bike category, giving Trek an excellent reputation in this very highly competitive field.
