Looking to get into XC/Trail, don't care about free ride or DH so much... looking in $400-$600 range. Suggestions?

I f your looking to maybe start racing the Fisher has the best components, and then the Giant, if your looking for a fun trail bike the kona is a good fit, as for the C'dale a specialized they both are equipted with deore wich is a peg lower than the LX on the giant.

For general trail riding, the CC is quite nice, at least according to my regular riding buddy.

Not sure if you are into the idea of a used bike but I have this for sale.
