You will get more opinions than you know what to do with...what type riding? XC, DH? What budget? A few things we need to know to provide any realistic advice...although IMHO, Specialized is always a good choice as is Kona...

Do you have a riding style. That will greatly determine the bike. What is your size? Have you tested any bikes what ones were confortable?
