Spanish term or phrase: mayoría de los equipos más reconocidos
Buenos días,

Cómo están?

Parece una pregunta tonta... pero estoy trabada con esto... Me ayudan?

"contamos con las interfaces de la mayoría de los equipos más reconocidos del mercado.

Si fuera "los equipos más nuevos", sería fácil... of the newest... pero acá necesito evitar dos MOST.

Gracias

Hola Débora!

Creo que "we offer/provide the interfaces of most of the best-known equipment in the market" sonaría bastante fluido y natural en inglés.

Espero sirva de ayuda.

Explanation:
Explanation:
Without more context, this answer covers the possibility that "equipos" could mean either 'equipment' or 'teams'. You would cover yourself either way, unless there is more context that would resolve the doubt.

Reference information:
While it is true that "best known" is more succinct than "the most well-known" it is far from incorrect. A Google search for the phrase gets more than 37 million hits, and the Ludwig link below has some examples from reliable published sources:
