What should I buy for a mountain bike?
I would like to get into the sport and I would like a "good" bike. I was looking into bikes like Specialized, Kona, and Cannondale. Which type and/or model would be the best to buy with a reasonable price.

It really depends on ‘what’ type of riding you’ll be doing and how much of it. If you’re just planning on being a weekend warrior and just want something decent to ride then you could get away with a lower end bike like the IronHorse Warrior or something like that. If you’re looking at seriously getting into the sport and spending some serious coin, then the options are limitless.

a helmet
get a diamond back they are the best. i had one for 5 years and it still looks like new
Well Kona’s being a Canadian brand are made for the mountain. However if you have looked at the price you might find it quiet high. Best is probably to get a nice bike for around 1k and modify it ie. add dic brakes , rock shox boxxers (my favorite) and other stuff like that. Or you could get a bike with all that stuff for around 2-3k. Specialized also makes really tough bikes.
