Hey!
I'm looking for a bike about 150.000-200.000 HUF (approximately £400-500). Last year with a couple of friends we started going on bike trips (the longest was about 250 kms on hilly and mountainous roads mainly on gentle slopes, we did it in 2.5 days). This year we want to go to Northern Transylvania; the whole trip is approximately 400 km long and according to plan we would do it in 4-5 days. The terrain there is steeper so I'd like to buy a new bike that would stand the trial and could be used in the future as well (atm I have a very basic mtb from my childhood, if I sold it it would worth about £50).
Alas, it's exceedingly hard to find new bikes these days (as far as I know there were manufacturing problems due to the pandemic). In my vicinity these two bikes are available and I've been advised to check them out

https://www.hervis.hu/store/Felszerelés/Kerékpárok/Cross-kerékpárok/KTM/Fun-Line/p/COLOR-2720576
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the English description of the latter one, however, its specs are written below and I've been told that it's more or less similar to this bike:

Besides cycling in the city, I only started going on a bit more serious trips the past year, so I'm not that familiar with specs and other details, though I'm trying to catch up with them. Right now I'm looking for a bike I could use in the future as well on similar or maybe a bit longer trips.
Which one would you recommend? Or could you recommend me other bikes as well in this price range?
Thank you very much for your help!
