I live in south east Asia, I bought a Kespor Blade roughly a year ago and they're great. Im not sure about the availability in your country, but it cost me around 500usd. Quite good value as the components are mid to high end. Also, I suggest buying a 2x11 drivetrain (22 speed total, 2 front & 11 cassette on the rear) as the gear shifts are smoother and theres much more gears to select. The front fork (the air shocks) are decent, but theres always better. Generally, air forks are better+lighter than coil ones.
