Well, this is really a controversial, complicated and constantly evolving topic. There are so many bicycle manufacturers, bicycle types and popular brand names sold in the united states, that it can be difficult to find a comprehensive summary and also to sort everything out.
The very best 20 most popular bike brand listing that I've compiled here's not in line with the quantity of bikes sold alone or on the quality or perceived quality of the bicycles. Most of the bike manufacturers right here also sell different bike types (road, mountain, hybrid, etc.) and also the list below is not broken down by bike type or category.
This listing is intended to be helpful information as to what bike brands are currently typically the most popular in the USA, at the time of this writing (since bike brands appear and disappear and the sales of numerous bike types fall and rise).

A few of the popular bike brands right here are only able to be purchased at specialty bike shops or independent dealers. Although this marketing technique makes them brands harder to find, in some instances this it raises the perceived quality of the bikes over brands which are distributed towards the mass market or that can be easily available at sporting goods stores or even online.
I've included the bike types or bike categories that each manufacturer sells under the brands listed. The bike type descriptions were, in most cases, taken from each bike manufacturers website in order to not only inform you what kind of bikes they create but additionally the way the company perceives the bike types they make and how they market these phones you.
