Guest Travis.

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.

Silverback.............not the most exotic of the brands, but good value for your money and if all the compliments on the Hub is anything to go by, they have the best after sales service by far.

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.

Fit Crest ZTR's with Schwalbe Racing Ralphs and you're good to go!

 

Awesome bike!
