Do not get a full suspension! Surely they at least have hard-tails there. A full suspension adds weight, and a cheap one is prone to breakage. Most importantly, a full suspension saps energy out of every pedal stroke, slowing you down and tiring you out.

That sort of equipment is only necessary for jumping tree stumps down a mountain side.
