mountain bike

What type of mountain bike would be good for me?
I'm looking to buy a brand new mountain bike.
I would use it for alot of on road biking but also I would go off road sometimes to ride off road.
What type of bike would I be needing to suit my needs.
Yes this is the second time I have posted this question up but last time I did not get the answers I wanted lets hope we can get better this time, thx everyone.
1) What percent is on road and off road?
75% Road 25% Off road
2) Whats your price range? Upto £700
3) What type of road and off road riding are you planing to do?
I would be doing alot of road all over the place and some off road stuff
4) Do you plan to race or just for everyday riding?
Every day riding
Get a Giant Anthem with suspension lock-out for the fork and rear shock.
When riding on the road, lock out the suspension when you don't need it. When riding on trails (off-road), open up the suspension to enjoy the 4 inches of travel front and rear.
This bike will fit your bdget and riding requirements. It's not insanely light but it is reliable for everyday riding. It's not race-worthy but you can expect it to keep up when your riding skills improve.
Sorry if the site below offers the bike in US$, but I'm sure it fits your price range.

I hope this hits the mark!
