It's a comfort / hybrid bike. All you have to do is look at the handle bars. It has you in the upright position.
More weight on the front wheel = better steering control if you are actually using the bike for mountain bike purposes. You ain't gonna get that with that Trek 830 due to the upright position you will be in on the bike. And it will be horrible for climbing.
