Came across a few on the Sportchek website that seem to get good reviews based on my quick searches.

GT Agressor 3.0 - $319
http://www.sportchek.ca/product/inde...767829.3758104

GT Agressor 1.0 - $399
http://www.sportchek.ca/product/inde...767829.3758104

Jamis Trail X2 - $399
http://www.sportchek.ca/product/inde...767829.3758104

I'll have to go see them one of these days but initial reading about them online seem more promising than some of the others I've been looking at.

I bought the 3rd one on your list. I like and seems to work well.

I went in to see them today and am leaning towards the GT Agressor 1.0. I'll likely pick it up in the next few weeks.

I recently just bought a bike at sportcheck.

Jamis Trail X2
http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/thebik...railx2_or.html

I am not an expert on biking but so far the bike has suited my needs. The only thing I might suggest is buying a better bike seat. The one you currently get with this bike hurts the butt.

Any suggestions on a mountain bike in the $1200 range?

I've been told to get 29" wheels and hydraulic brakes. I'm not a serious offroader, but do need something more rugged than my road bike for the odd trail in the Kananaskis and around town when it's raining.

I bought a new Mtn bike and 4 km in on Goat Creek trail in Banff and my front tire bursts

Not a great start to what was a relatively large purchase
