Which Bike do you think is best out of all these, please give an explanation of why you think its better.

They are all from the same store, because i can get a special discount on them.

Also, can someone please tell me the difference with number 4 and 5 . ( TREK 3500 + TREK 3500 D) .

Thanks

The 3500D has mechanical (these being basic) disc brakes - most obvious difference, might stop a bit better, but will be heavier and need more maintenance

They are all very much entry level models, there won't be a lot to choose between them, they'll all be pretty heavy - the Saracen is 14.35kg which is ok, I'd expect the Specialized to be around 16kg

I am no expert at all, but the Saracen looks to have higher specced (Altus) - 24 gears versus 21 for all the others, while the basic Trek looks the least well specced I think

Have a look for reviews on bikeradar (via Google) and also the Evans feedback

Are you specifically wanting a mountain bike, i.e. pretty much all off road riding?

IMHO the Trek 3500 D is pretty good,

Mechanical disc brakes and 80mm travel give a good starter bike.
