It'll do smoothish dirt trails just fine, regardless of what you want
to call it. What sort of terrain do you want to attempt on one?

Niether. I'm looking to trade it for a lighter hybrid for around the city.
I wanted to describe it as an off-road bike but I didn't want to mislead
anyone.

I think "comfort bike" is the current meme. Or call it a hybrid.
People looking for true off road bikes won't be interested, but it's
certainly capable of a trail here or there.
