Iron Horse Bicycles is a manufacturer of bicycles, based in Islandia, New York, United States. The company was founded in 1987. Their logo is that of a prancing horse on a mustard-color crest similar to the Ferrari logo.

Iron Horse sells a variety of bicycle styles from racing bikes to mountain bikes, but focuses mainly on downhill, freeride, and all mountain. The 2006 line of bikes offers nearly 50 bikes in 10 different lines. Most of the bicycles are dark gray in coloring but some also come in chrome.

Iron Horse Pro Team

Iron Horse's Pro Team for 2006 is comprised of riders Sam Hill, Sabrina Jonnier, and Justin Havukainen. In 2006, Sam Hill and Sabrina Jonnier both took first in the world cup in downhill. Sam Hill repeated as World Cup champion in 2007, but then fell to 3rd in 2008 behind Steve Peat (who came in 2nd, riding for Santa Cruz), and George "Gee" Atherton (1st).

Alumni of the Iron Horse Pro Team include Sam Hill, Nathan Rennie, Dave Cullinan, Kim Sonier, Penny Davidson, Toby Henderson, Leigh Donovan, and Pete Loncarevich. Cullinan brought the Iron Horse name into the spotlight when he won the downhill World Championship in 1992.
