GMC Topkick Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike is a good bike - the best feature is the dual suspension. Light and easy dropping off curbs on the way to work - huge difference from my hardtail mountain bike. Disc brakes are nice to have, on front and rear - work much better than rim brakes. To adjust them hold the brake lever in and tighten them down via a hex wrench on the opposite center of the disc brake until the pads are flush against the disc, then turn back until the brake lever has enough play in it.
With that relatively low budget you'll need to get something second-hand, probably a hardtail. Check out Gumtree and the classifieds, and see if your local bike shops sell any used bikes, but don't buy anything without trying it out, and get a knowledgeable mate to look any used bike for damage to the frame and kit. You must expect wear and tear, but a cracked frame can be tricky to spot and may make a bike unsafe or a real liability.
All what can I suggest you is thing about 29er mountain bike. I was paste a link to website where you can find more pros and cons about 29 inch mountain bikes.
try searching for a second hand GIANT TRANCE X4 (2009 VERSION) this bike is truly one of the greatest mountain bikes ever made. with mind blowing features and quality. trust me:) my dad cycled across wales with his
