Ok so i narrowed it down to three bikes ,
Lappiere zesty 214 2012
Giant trance x4 2012
Giant trance x3 2011
Which bike is the best all round bike for the money , can get the trance x4 for a grand saving 4-500 quid on the other two . I ride mainly local woods and trails , the odd trail centre here and there but no major downhill or really big stuff. I am defo buying one next week so just wondering everyone's opinions on these 3 bikes and which would you go for?
Its my first full suss so really want to get the best bike , i sat on a zesty 314 felt really nice but wont be able to sit on a trance so really wanna get it right.
Any feedback would be well appreciated tx :D

    there's a reason for that, the suspension on the X3 2011 and 214 are some of the best you can get, the giant shock and xc fork on the X4 aren't
