There are only 2 of those I would consider - The GT or the Cannondale. But that said, the best bike there is the Cannondale. Hands down it wins. May be slightly lower spec, but with the lefty and frame it's the best one there.

 

The frame may be alu, but Cannondale are specialists when it comes to alu and it'll feel better than a cheap carbon bike.

Agree, started riding MTB in 97, 12 bikes later, last three Cannondales - cannot beat a Dale, Lefty is something else !!

Silverback/GT best value.

 

Dale overpriced for components you get.

 

Out of the ones you posted, I would want to ride the dale, go for it!

 

They superlight alu frames

 

Not really - The one in question without pedals and the EVO Schwalbe Tyres weighs 10.8kg.

Add XT pedals and proper Snake Skin tyres and you have a 11kg < HT.

 

Edit: Agree the frames might be light, but the whole package as sold is not the lightest.
