What? You haven't made a decision yet? :D
Can't talk about the Ellsworths, but having ridden the other bikes, I'd go with the Heckler. Excellent setup with the 5th and a Fox up front. If you really mean light freeriding, that is. Otherwise I'd go with the Giant or SLX. They carry more weight, but they'll hold up to bigger drops. I'd be worried about the CrossMaxs for freeriding, tho'.
Maybe you should clarify whether you want a bike that is light that you can FR with, or a bike to do "light" FR-ing. :think:
