Mountain bikes are still the best-selling bikes because they make all types of terrain and slopes accessible to all enthusiasts. In this article, we have selected the best mountain bikes of the last year.
Mountain bikes are the most popular and desired among all types, and this dominance has increased with electric mountain bikes.strong>types of bikes.
There are models of mountain bikes specific for all disciplines and user profiles, starting with cheap MTBs or children's bikes, where you will still find 26" wheels and V-Brakes. From recreational and affordable mountain bikes, for beginners or those who take mountain biking as something less extreme, to mountain bikes with front suspension or dual suspension for any purpose: XC racing, Marathon, touring, Trail, Enduro or Downhill.
When buying a mountain bike, we find dozens of brands and an overwhelming amount of technical information. It is best to seek the advice of specialized stores.
At Mammoth, we make a careful selection of what we consider the best brands of mountain bikes in value for money in each range. And, to offer you a reference of best sellers, new models and trends, we have made a comparison of mountain bikes of all our brands, with a ranking of the best mountain bikes of those that we consider the best mountain bikes of the last year, for being the most innovative or for being the best mountain bikes in value for money.We are going to separate them into two sections:
Of those selected, we'll give you a brief technical description and the reasons why we highlight them from the rest. Although this does not mean that they are the best option for everyone.
Cannondale surprised the market with the Scalpel HT 2022, breaking with the traditional design of hardtail XC bikes. It launched the steering angle up to 67°, lower even than full-suspension bikes, but with ingenious solutions so as not to detract from the agility and speed of a pure XC bike. Its revolutionary geometry and the excellent Lefty 8 fork, achieve an extraordinary performance, which places it, for us, as the best hardtail MTB XC of the last year. Among the four models in the range, we have chosen the Scalpel HT Carbon 2 model, because we believe it is the most balanced option for the rider profile that will be looking for this bike.
The most important novelty of this last year has been, most probably, the Scott Spark 2022. A spectacular substitute for the bike with which Nino Schurter has dominated the world XC in the last decade. They have achieved an extraordinary level of rear suspension integration, while maintaining the virtues of the TwinLoc system, exclusive to Scott twin bikes. We have selected for the ranking the Scott Spark RC Pro 2022
model.
The revamped Specialized Epic introduced in 2022 once again placed this model at the pinnacle of the full-suspension XC bikes. Unchanged in 2023, the latest generation of the Brain intelligent suspension system, with exclusively mechanical and non-electronic means, remains the Epic's hallmark. We have chosen the Specialized Epic Expert 2023 model, because we think it brings together everything that most demanding cyclists who want a full-sususpension XC bike can look for.
The Giant Trance range enters the ranking as the best Trail MTB for its excellent value for money and its Maestro suspension system with virtual pivot. With 135 mm rear suspension and 150 mm fork, its handling is impeccable: firm when pedaling and great traction over technical terrain. It is one of our favorite options for Trail and we have chosen the Giant Trance X 29 2 2022 model, with aluminum frame because, it offers a quality that is difficult to find in other brands with such an accesible price.
.
The Specialized Enduro model was a pioneer in the discipline and, with its latest version, which moves towards the most radical Enduro, remains one of the undisputed references. It offers a refined geometry and the most advanced technology developed in competition, with 170 mm of travel on both suspensions. The model of choice is the Specialized Enduro Expert 2022, with everything you need to get you on the start ramp of a race, or to enjoy with your enduro group.
Orbea introduced a new Rallon in the 2022 collection, which improves all its features and is able to change its character with smart technological solutions. By significantly reducing frame height and using long-travel dropper seatposts, they leave plenty of room for the rider to choose the size based on riding style rather than height limitations. We can also choose the size of the rear wheel, putting both 29" or make it Mullet with 27.5" rear. An enduro with its own personality that we loved. Among its range, we have chosen the Orbea Rallon M20 2022 model, as it is the best-selling one.
We have just published an extensive article in which we have made a selection with The 10 best electric MTB bikes, containing extensive information on our favorite models in each category. We recommend reading it to help you decide which is the best electric mountain bike, although the answer to this question will depend on the needs of each one of us.
In this article, we have exclusively selected the most innovative models presented in the last year, among the wide range of our electric MTB bikes.
The Specialized Turbo Levo remains the reference in the segment, with the excellent Mission Control app and the revolutionary Smart Control. And we have chosen the Turbo Levo S-Works Carbon that tops its range, because, without a doubt, it is the one that occupies the dreams of any rider who wants an electric mountain bike.
The Orbea Rise leads sales in the light Trail e-bike category. With its 65 Nm maximum torque motor and 540Wh battery, it offers sufficient range for long rides, which can be increased with the option of the additional Range Extender that attaches to the bottle cage.The Range Extender is an additional Range Extender option that attaches to the bottle cage. We highlight the Orbea Rise M10 2023 model, which we have selected for the list.
With the new Lumen, Scott is betting on an electrically assisted "Spark" for the lightweight eMTB range. It has the same integrated shock absorber and TwinLoc suspension system, with a record weight of 15.5 kg for the top-of-the-line Lumen eRide 900 SL. It features the TQHPR50 motor with 50 Nm of maximum torque and the record weight of 1.8 kg. And, its compact size allows two bottle cages to be housed in the frame and the Lumen has the same Q-factor as the Spark.
The intermediate model Lumen eRide 900 is 16.3 kg. And at 17.6 kg. the entry model to the range, Scott Lumen eRide 910, which is the one chosen for the list. Both can be reserved at Mammoth Stores.
And we finish by highlighting among the Enduro electric bikes this model of the Spanish brand Mondraker, always at the forefront of innovation. The Mondraker Crafty R 2023 chosen offers an excellent balance between its shock-absorbing capacity and pedaling effectiveness, thanks to the ZERO Suspension System at the rear suspension. It entrusts the electrical part to Bosch and makes a safe bet with Fox suspensions.
These are the four models of mountain bike electric bicycles that we consider the most outstanding of the last year.
