The Trek 820 mountain bike is one of the best bikes you can get for the price. The Trek 820 is comporable to other mountain bikes that cost $200 - $300 more, and is a great bike for anyone wanting to start mountain biking, or just having a quality bike to ride through the neighborhood.
The rapid fire shifting is much better than a lot of grip shifting you will find on other bikes for only $100 or so less. You can also upgrade your Trek 820 very easily with other components, since the initial cost won't make a huge dent in your wallet.
The main drawback of the Trek 820 is that is comes in a steel frame, which means it will be a little heavier than some bikes made from aluminum, but some mountain bikers prefer steel to aluminum, as steel often gives a quiter ride. If, however, you prefer an aluminun frame, you can get a Trek 3700, which is the exact same thing as a Trek 820, except the 3700 has an aluminum frame and cost about $50 more.
You may need to get a more comfortable seat after you buy one, and if you do a lot of very hard riding, you may want to consider a different bike with higher quality components that will hold up better.
All that aside, if you are a new to mountain biking, the Trek 820 is an awesome bike!

The Trek 4500 is a great bike for beginning mountain bikers as it was built with manueverability in mind. It is great for light offroad or paved trails, although hardcore mountain bikers might require a bike with a higher component group. This bike climbs very well and is very comfortable to ride on do to Trek's superb geometry. One great feature of this bike is that you can lock out the suspension, which will make the bike more stable if you want to take it for a ride on the open road.
