For the OP...if all you are looking for a is a bike to ride dirt trails look at the Giant ToughRoad.

That looks like a fine bike for the OP's purposes. Personally I wouldn't be afraid of the suspension forks on a Giant mountain bike like this Talon 2 for recreational riders who aren't jumping off rocks.

But those fat tires on the Toughroad ought to smooth things pretty good too..

I do a lot of riding on rough MUP's and roads, And I can tell you this, I will be getting a bike WITH the suspension forks next time. It's actually faster and more comfortable then rigid forks despite the extra 2 lb (approx. 1% total weight) or so because we don't have to slow down over what would surely be a punishing ride with rigid forks.
