How much are you looking to spend?
Those bikes are alright, but the componentry is pretty basic.. you could probably get something like a Kona Blast for about $650 (or even $600 if you can talk the sales guy down a bit)... sure it's a couple extra hundred, but it's an order of magnitude better than the norco and trek.
My only complaint about any of these entry level bikes would be that the front shocks aren't very responsive -- it'll be nearly the same with the Blast, but the drivetrain components are much, much better on the blast.
