They all make a whole range of bikes, from terrible to very good.

Links help to bikes you are looking at, and a budget.

At the least you want decent hydraulically damped forks.

What type of riding to you envisage doing and what is your budget?

Sounds like you are not in the UK, and this is a 99% UK forum, so links would help, as who knows what is available to you locally at that price.
