Giant Rincon - All terrain, all round, general purpose mountain bike.

A couple of steps up the range from Giant's entry level Rock, and suited to more rigourous off-road riding, but still not specialised to a single discpline, so performs well on the street and path as well as the trails.

The Giant Rincon offers superb value for money and is an ideal go anywhere do anything introduction to the joys of trail riding.
Everything on the bike is no nonsense useable stuff. You get a very strong hydroformed aluminium frame, Shimano 24 speed easy fire gears, easy to maintain v-brakes and up front you get 80mm of useable suspension provided by the Suntour XCM forks.

All of this is contained in a great looking, great value bike that looks like it should cost far more than  it actually does!
