This type of bike:
https://www.giant-bicycles.com/md/roam-2-disc-2020
An old reliable of mine used for everyday commuting and weekend forest rides.
Winter season is over soon. Living in the mountains, looking for a new sport for a nice workout, outdoors.
I wish to try MTB as soon as snow goes away.
I don’t aim to ride super hard pro tracks.
I don’t want any extreme pro descendings.
Still, I want some decent long workout riding up those slopes.
Will this bike suffice for a season?
What kind of light adjustments (tires etc) can be applied to make it more suitable? Does it really need?
Thanks a lot for the help, guys!

I have a giant roam with a rigid fork and street tires for trainer/city use, but that one you linked would be pretty much my last choice for trail use. Those NEX forks are awful. They weigh as much, if not more, than an entry level mtb forks and perform worse. An entry level mtb, like a trek marlin 6, would be better.
