Of those i would go with the virus escarpe 1 if it's in a suitable size (only 16" left I think) the revelation fork is a good one, then it would be the other escarpe, it's not as well specced being a newer model, such as having the sektor fork which is a lower model. The ghost looks ok too but I've no experience of the rst forks. The sunn bikes may have quite a lot of travel at 170mm so may be a little too burly, especially coming from a hardtail.
Try having a look here http://www.paulscycles.co.uk have some good deals on previous years models.0 -
what bike would you recommend if you was buying one but not the ones iv looked at?
the first sunn bike is the one I prefer looks of0 -
I've got a giant trance and rate it highly, the giant anthem is a very good bike too, just a less travel at 100mm. The boardmans at halfords get good reviews too.0

What hardtail do you have and what do you feel are it's inadequacies you want to address?Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

its a trails bike frame DDG build it for lightness and easy riding use but then we found out about the chase trails and it would be nice to have full suspension.0
