For people who prefer an active lifestyle and outdoor recreation, or who are professional cyclists, a regular bicycle designed for city roads will not be suitable. A mountain off-road bike will provide good maneuverability and safety. And with increasing interest in environmentally friendly vehicles, the demand for such bicycles has increased many times over. And to keep up, manufacturers are constantly increasing the number of mountain models they offer. Because of this, it is now very difficult to choose the right option for yourself, but our experts decided to help you and put together the top 10 inexpensive bicycles of good quality in today’s rating. We compared top models from well-known manufacturers, studying the results of test drives and reviews from cyclists.

Basic moments
Based on all this, we have compiled the top 10 best-selling bicycles in Russia for 2021. All presented models represent releases of the current and last seasons, from the most famous brands in the country. The price range of the presented bikes is from 10 to 40 thousand rubles (budget segment).
If you wish, you can choose something “cooler”, although we recommend that you take a closer look at the list below - in the end, sometimes you just don’t need to pay more
I would also like to note that in recent years the sales turnover of representatives of domestic brands has increased significantly. This is a clear indicator that Russian manufacturers are now no less competitive with foreign brands. In addition, such bicycles are an order of magnitude cheaper than their “foreign” counterparts, but are not inferior in quality.
As a result, having set your sights on buying something specific, you yourself will not fail to fully analyze all the information available about the product on the Internet - right down to the most plaintive reviews
You can find a flaw everywhere, our goal is only to provide a guide and introduce the reader to the objectively most popular bike models in Russia, which have become relevant in the 2021 season. Let's go!
Stern Energy 2.0
17 000 rubles
Type of brakes: disc
Frame / weight: aluminum / 14.3 kg
In Russia, products of this brand are presented in the SportMaster chain of stores. Veliki are positioned as “an alternative to the world’s leading brands, not inferior to them in terms of level, but at a much more affordable price.” In-house production - factories in Singapore assemble everything themselves, with the exception of Shimano .
However, most of the products presented do not jump above the level of the “budget category”, with the appropriate equipment. On the other hand, these two-wheelers are able to satisfy the needs of beginners and even advanced bike riders.
I would especially like to note the Stern Energy 2.0 model with 27.5″ wheels, an original design with bending pipes, a slightly above average suspension - Shimano Tourney (21 gears), and disc brakes (these brake mechanisms, however, are very capricious when setting up )
Strength and lightness are the manufacturers’ special pride in Stern Energy 2.0 , perfect for the +110 kg weight category. A separate, and even completely correctable, drawback can be a not very comfortable saddle. Also, after active use, tires will have to be changed by the second season.
| Pros: | Minuses: |
| Reasonable cost, about 20 thousand with a choice of options. Excellent balance between price and quality; | Low quality rubber, the tread wears off quickly. With active skating, you will have to change it already in the first season before its end; |
| Reliable, durable and fairly light frame; | Not very high quality attachments, especially for beginner cyclists. For example, the wings included in the package do a mediocre job and break quickly; |
| Large body kit. | There is a risk of running into a marriage that is not immediately detected. During repairs, you may find that the components were literally assembled with a sledgehammer. Low quality manufacturing materials. |
Stels Navigator 500 V V020 (2018)
14 000
Brake type:
V-Brake
steel / 16.2 kg
Stels is a relatively young domestic brand; all assembly is carried out in Kubinka near Moscow. Many people are attracted to these bikes by their reliability and record-breaking affordable price. Stels are currently one of the most popular in the country.
One of the most striking and popular representatives is the Stels Navigator 500 V V020 (2018). For less than 15 thousand, you get a real “steel horse” (this is the material the frame is made from), with a standard budget set of bells and whistles, brake brakes, and no wings included.
The fact that Stels Navigator is capable of getting out of any dirt is undoubtedly
The selection of a 20" size and 26" wheels together seems very successful. However, it is quite large and bulky. Also, over time, you may have problems with the settings, and one “family” key will not do.
Many users also note that the steering wheel is unfairly low, which will most likely have to be raised, but on your own.
| Pros: | Minuses: |
| Good fork, soft, sufficient travel; | Standard fenders do not protect well from dirt, the seat is uncomfortable for traveling around the city and does not fit well; |
| Price. For this money it is impossible to find a bike of similar configuration and quality; | The sprockets and chain wear out quickly; with constant riding, you will have to change them almost every season; |
| Reliable frame and large selection of body kits. | Rubber wears out very quickly; one sharp braking is enough (for the wheel to skid) and the worn areas are visible. |
FORWARD Sporting 29 2.0 Disc (2019)
13 000
Type of brakes: disc
steel / 16.3 kg
In Soviet times, the Perm Velta plant produced Kama bikes, famous throughout the union; today the same plant produces bikes under the Forward . The secret of the popularity of this brand among domestic bike riders is explained not only by the high quality of assembly and components, but also by the most affordable prices today.
A striking example of this is the FORWARD Sporting 29 2.0 Disc (2019). Shimano Tourney lever shifters , and even mechanical disc brakes.
Included in the package, for less than 15 thousand you will receive fenders and a persistent step
However, you shouldn’t expect anything truly extraordinary for this money. The level is above average, but there are some shortcomings here too. Although the seat is comfortable, it can be uncomfortable after a long ride.
The lack of a rear shock absorber is another minor drawback, which the “fifth point” will fully feel on bumps. The steel frame may seem quite cumbersome, although nothing stronger has been invented yet.
| Pros: | Minuses: |
| Good rolling, even taking into account the fact that the total weight of the model is about 17 kg; | The wings are ineffective, it is better to replace them immediately if you plan to drive on dirt roads or in rainy weather; |
| In this price category, good tires, but noisy on asphalt. Double rims; | There is a risk of manufacturing defects or poor quality assembly. For example, the carriage bearings are of mediocre quality; |
| A wide selection of attachments, however, standard equipment from the lowest price category. | The paint quickly begins to peel off, especially if you don’t use a step and park it somewhere, either lying down or leaning on the wall. |
FORMAT 1414 27.5 (2020)
28 000
Brake type: V-brake
aluminum / 15.2 kg
Another domestic brand, however, aimed at producing professional sports bikes. Of course, the “formats” will be more expensive than other Russian brands, but they fully meet the high-level requirements.
The cost of FORMAT 1414 27.5 (2020) is fully justified by its specification: high-class Suntour shock absorbers, combined with ergonomic and lightweight aluminum, and excellent geometry (with a rise towards the steering wheel)
The brakes here are bracketed, you have to pay extra for the discs, they are entry-level. But in all other respects, an excellent choice for both beginners and pros!
| Pros: | Minuses: |
| A good bushing on the carriage, a margin of safety, so it won’t break during aggressive city driving (even jumping off curbs); | Low-quality standard rubber, wears out quickly; |
| Reliable fork, does not play even after 1000 km; | You need to be careful with assembly; immediately after purchase you should check, stretch and lubricate all components; |
| Reliable, with normal use it lasts for 3-4 years without repair. | There are no wings in stock (however, it is better not to have them than to have them of poor quality, but increasing the cost of the model). |
Merida Big.Nine 20-D (2020)
40 000
Brake type: disc, mechanical
aluminum / 15.6 kg
Merida is another brand focused on producing cycling products for professional athletes. The usual price tag for this brand reaches 100,000 rubles, and even more, depending on preferences and bells and whistles. In our selection, we selected a two-wheeler from this brand from the budget segment.
In our bicycle rental business, the main fleet consists of this brand, since over the years of work, this particular brand has proven to be reliable and comfortable.
Merida Big.Nine 20-D (2020) is an excellent 29er, proving that when you choose Merida you are choosing (almost) the best
Merida Big.Nine 20-D (2020) for the indicated amount has almost a full range of all the necessary top-end components - there are Shimano ST Shimano FD switches , a Suntour with a travel of up to 100 mm, a saddle and other parts with a thoughtful design , from the Taiwanese manufacturer itself.
Excellent rolling and maximum acceleration thanks to the 29” wheel diameter. However, you can find some disadvantages here too - the coating can quickly wear off and be easily scratched. The Big.Nine 20-D itself is quite heavy for aluminum, but the presence of everything you need makes these shortcomings secondary.
| Pros: | Minuses: |
| Large travel of 29 wheels; | Heavy; |
| Reliability, without repairs or problems you can ride 1000 km or more on any terrain; | Seat. During long trips (20 or more km in one sitting) it causes discomfort in the corresponding place; |
| Effective brakes provide intense deceleration even on sharp descents and speeds. | The braid on the brake hoses is susceptible to scratches and may peel off. Moreover, if the scratch is shallow, depressurization does not occur; |
| The hitch will satisfy only the needs of a beginner; experienced athletes need modernization. |
STARK Cobra 27.2 D (2019) folding
26 000
Brake type: disc, mechanical
aluminum / 15.7 kg
STARK is produced in Singapore, but as stated in the company legend - under the strict supervision of German engineers. STARK two-wheelers are also very popular in Russia, primarily due to their reliability, as well as the unusual technological solutions offered by the developers.
We invite you to take a closer look at the STARK Cobra 27.2 D (2019). In fact, we have before us a “hybrid hybrid” - a folding hardtail mountain bike... It seems that this sounds quite progressive and promising. But how is this idea implemented in the example of Cobra 27.2 D (2019)?
The equipment of this model is, to put it mildly, “entry level”
So to speak - just the minimum, although again, 21 one gears of the Shimano Tourney is a lot! The folding system is quite practical and convenient. You quickly get used to the double tube under the seat.
However, the key parts are made of fairly soft materials, so be prepared for the fact that over time the mechanism will become loose, well, squeaks are common... In general, the price is not justified, and it always makes sense to take a closer look at something simpler in appearance, but more reliable.
| Pros: | Minuses: |
| The tires are well suited for city driving and do not create much noise when riding; | Folding frame. The joint area is a potential point of failure during active skating. Many users complain about the poor quality of materials; |
| A fairly reliable folding bike; in this category it’s generally not easy to find a high-quality folding bike; | The kit does not include wings, and there are also no fastenings for installing a full-size wing; |
| Very convenient for storage. | When folded, the footrest is low and there is a high risk of breaking it off-road. |
BTWIN ROCKRIDER 27.5" ST 540
33 000
Brake type: disc, hydraulic
aluminum / 14.1 kg
BTWIN is a French brand that enjoys an unshakable reputation among many experienced bike enthusiasts. If there is anything to complain about here, it’s the little things. In all other respects, everything seems balanced and moderately perfect.
The BTWIN ROCKRIDER 27.5" ST 540 is no exception. 27 gears ( Shimano Altus ), hydraulic disc brakes, comfortably curved handlebars. With such equipment, you can safely go on a journey of many hundreds of kilometers, without fear that anything will happen along the way.
It is possible that paint of average quality may be scratched in some places, but who thinks about these trifles on the way to their heights?
The Achilles' heel of the ROCKRIDER 27.5" ST 540 is the unreliable routing of the cables along the down tube, which can jam if dirt gets in.
| Pros: | Minuses: |
| Reliability. With adequate operation, you can get by for many seasons just by replacing consumables. The manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty on the stem, stem and frame; | The painting is not of very high quality, it does not peel off immediately, but the paintwork begins to deteriorate quite quickly. At the same time, there is airbrushing on the frame, not stickers; |
| The potential of the model allows you to master even easy downhill trails. It can be regarded as a trail bike for beginners; | The cables are located along the bottom of the frame; |
| Good brakes, do not boil even with active use. | The front sprockets wear out relatively quickly. |
GIANT ATX 1 (2019)
31 000
Brake type: disc, mechanical
aluminum / 14.3 kg
The company name Giant fully corresponds to its intended meaning, representing the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world today. Without exception, all models are distinguished by an almost ideally selected price / assembly / functionality ratio.
This season, last year’s modification GIANT ATX 1 (2019) will remain relevant. The SR Suntour XCT spring-oil fork is a clear advantage over its spring-elastomer counterparts, which allows it to perfectly dampen any vibrations.
24 gears is not so little. The mechanical disc brakes are of a walking level, but over time they can be pumped up. The frame, like all Giants, is quite light and comfortable. The curved steering wheel and seat add comfort. In a word - it's worth taking a closer look.
| Pros: | Minuses: |
| A fairly high-quality body kit, modernization may only be required for experienced cyclists; | Errors during assembly are possible; it is very advisable to stretch everything and double-check it after purchase; |
| A good frame that won’t let you down; | Nakat is inferior to some alternatives in the same price category; |
| Disc brakes are effective, but aggressive drivers may find them insufficiently informative. | The tires are slippery for cross-country, the front wheel constantly skids slightly on such tracks. |
Scott Aspect 980 DK blue/yellow (2019)
27 000
Brake type: disc, mechanical
aluminum / 13.9 kg
As you know, everything Swiss is of elite quality, and the products of the Scott are no exception. Scott Aspect 980 DK is still relevant , with a lightweight frame and 29” wheels (we are still talking about a mountain bike).
Separately, I would like to note the presence of special Kenda Slant , which provide excellent grip in all weather conditions.
Excellent equipment (the necessary minimum), for quite reasonable money for a well-known European brand
However, for the same amount you can buy any Russian-made two-wheeler, but with professional equipment. To ride the “minimum” ones, but with the Scott , or to choose something else is an individual matter.
| Pros: | Minuses: |
| Lightweight, only about 12 kg. This gives improved dynamics and makes the bike obedient on the road; | The fork works effectively at low speeds, however, upon acceleration it begins to perform less efficiently; |
| Reliability. It will serve for years without upgrades, but don’t forget about consumables; | The tires are toothy, so they will make noise during city driving; |
| The Shimano Deore linkage is responsive, durable and does not require constant adjustments. | The seat is hard, so you need to get used to it so as not to experience discomfort. |

The best budget mountain bike for men and women
A sports bike requires wearing sportswear; moreover, the low frame geometry negatively affects the rigidity of the bike.

A women's mountain bike is practically no different from a men's mountain bike, with the exception of some points:
- on average, a woman is shorter than a man, so on women's models the connecting rod is shortened
- the steering wheel is made narrower because women have narrower shoulders
- A woman’s palms are smaller and for a more comfortable grip the distance between the handle and the lever is adjustable
- women are generally weaker, so they try to make bicycles as light as possible;
- the female saddle is wider and shorter, taking into account the characteristics of the female pelvis
- softer shock absorbers increase safety and comfort
- the body of the female body is shortened, so the main triangle of the frame narrows slightly
- women's bicycles are equipped with bright prints and accessories
Note that some experts are convinced that such design features are a marketing ploy and have little effect on driving comfort. However, now we will highlight the rating of inexpensive bicycles by quality for women and men.
