Giant says
When its time to test your skills, count on Brass. The lightweight AluxX aluminium frame is tough the suspension fork and brakes aren t for show, its time to hit the dirt and carve out some fun. Dependable components, including sturdy disc brakes, make it a fun and reliable adventure companion.

This is a very nice bike for trails or park and is very fun to use.
If your going to use it for park or anything harsh i would buy the 12.5 frame as its a rather big bike. The forks are very stiff and dont help much for trails but are fine for park. I have had mine for about 2 months and its had tones of problems already. I only ride park and the headset had come lose and the chain has become stuck in the plastic chainring protector lots of time, the resulted in bending the chain and having to get a new chain!
If you realy want this bike its a very good idea to get it made single speed.
