Shocker had issues with snapping. Gamblers an uninspired faux bar. Glory's heavy.

May I interest you into looking at the Wilson series?

The Glory is race ready and reliable, the Shocker is a sweet build if you set it up right, but I don't know too much about the Scott, although IMO it is pretty ugly...

*Edit* I agree with Sherbert, go with a Wilson.

Ouch.

Anywho, yeah. Out of your picks, I'd say a glory. Best bang for the buck.

What's your budget, riding style, weight, height, and so on?

Medium Wilson. Choose what's the best price for you. They'll out preform most bikes out there for half the price.

The Geo's pretty standard. It could have been set up for a different weight, or have been in the FR mode. The old ones were also a little flexy.

yes dude get a shocker, they are like reinforced everywhere and are beefy as all hell. not gonna crack. plus they were inspired by the north shore and built right there. yes i found a wilson felt retarded too. the head angle is weirded out and the suspension feels boring

The geometry between the wilson and shocker's pretty damned close. Rolleyes
