There are many different brands, styles, and types of bikes that people use when extreme mountain biking.
First off there are basically three different styles of bikes.
1) Downhill / Freeride
2) Mountain / Climbing
3) Cross Country Racing
Probably the best brand of bike for mountain biking would be Cannondale.

The Gemini Series bike shown above is the bike that I would ride if I had $3,000 + to spend.
Another good brand of mountain bike is Trek.

Shown above is a Trek bike of the Bruiser Series.
Now I know not everyone has a thousand or so dollars to spend a bike.
So if you have a limited budget you could get a Huffy, Next, or Mongoose
at Wal-Mart anywhere from $75 to $300.
