It is quite difficult to advise you on which one to get, as it really depends on what you'll be using it for. Those are very different bikes. That said, based on what you've said you'll be doing with the bike, I'd say to go for the Giant. It's a more conventional frame design and will do it all. You additionally seem partial to 29ers, and there's nothing wrong with that, though they are slightly falling out of fashion for hardtails. Should you decide at some point to get a set of plus wheels, you'll have that option. The Giant's frame is lovely and I'm partial to the XT drivechain and in particular the brakes. Whichever one you choose you'll have a great bike, I think.

That Giant is a totally different bike to the other two. You would have to ride them to know which style you preferred.

The Giant is a light race bike, the Orange at the other end of the spectrum, the mondraker in the middle. Suggest you would be well advised to go ride some of the options before deciding, as they are quite different.

This looks great too but how would parts be as they're in germany
Don't like the fact that they charge you for both the bike box and shipping
Other than that I'll arrange to visit the bike shops that have the giant and the orange is stockPosted 10 minutes ago # -
Whichever one you you get I'm sure it'll be great.
But let me commend you on how quickly the budget has risen, the only way to do buy a new bike is to set a strict budget, forget it quickly, then buy something you like for far more than you though reasonable at the start of the process.
I do it all the time.
