Cool Mountain Bike basics?

Howdy,

I'm looking to get a quick catch up on the state of mountain bikes. I've not owned an off-road bike in over 15 years. There are so many advances that even the $100 bikes at Wal-Mart and Academy are better than what I used to thrash the trail with back when I was capable of thrashing.

What are the critical features? Are the bikes plenty strong? I ain't as small as I once was.. even though I hope that a bit of time on the trail will reduce my heft.

I don't mind spending enough to get a good bike (actually three) but I am amazed at the advances and I'm not bleeding edge..

Gracias,
