Marin's Bobcat Trail 3 manages to both look and ride like a much more expensive bike than it is, with a quality frame and geometry that comes from the 'proper trail bike' book to deliver a really capable ride. Compromises in the drivetrain and suspension to get it on budget are apparent, but it's still a solid machine that delivers a lot of fun for not much cash.

Lightweight, firm-riding trail hardtail that’s still fun to ride while you upgrade. Buy if you want a fun, upgradable trail bike
Modern-shaped, lightweight and stiff 29er trail frame in a wide range of sizes
Overall ride is still purposeful and enjoyable despite component compromises
A wider bar and better tyres would improve trail confidence significantly
Heavy and basic steel-spring and straight-steerer fork is ripe for upgrading too
