I am looking to reenter the mountain biking hobby. I rode one when I was a kid and I loved it, my friends ended up going BMX so I followed then but now I am looking to return to mountain biking. I am looking at the above models but I'm not sure which one I want. I am looking for a good trail riding bike that can handle rough terrain like rooted trails and the like. I'd perfer ruggedness over speed but I don't want to sacrifice much of either. Any experienced riders able to help me out?

haro V4 but u might want to consider the following
u should consider getting companys like haro,kona,norco,specialized,tr... and gt. start with kona, specialized and giant they make good bikes and they are cheap for bikes within the same range. for kona look for stuff, lavadom or scrap
norco:shore series
haro:v series
specialized:any thing they are all good and cheap
ironhorse:make almost unbreakable bikes but they are heavy
banshee:morphine series
before buying the bike make sure that the dimonds of the frame should be small and points upwards the tyres should be wide and with lots of rubber studs. the fork should have atleast 100mm of travel better if beond 130mm. the suspention brand that you should look for is marzochii or rock shock they are the most common ones. if you dont like the suspention then you might consider spending an other 500$ on bomber shocks they are good qualityed stuff. i recomand a hard tail because they are easier to ride up hill and gives lots of air. and is cheaper and lighter. you should look for disk breaks but if the bike dont come with them v breaks are good too exept over time they dig into your rim and shorten the rim's life.

That is a very tough call. All of those are really good in my opinion. You'll just have to find dealers for those "candidates", test ride them to determine which one you like. If you get down to two "candidates", pick the less expensive of the two.

i've been browsing online more than four hours today searching for answer to the same question, yet I haven't found any interesting debate like this. it's pretty worth enough for me.

It takes ten seconds for the Yahoo Answers page to load for me to be able to click on the [add your answer] box. is my computer slow?
