Basically, what makes an off road bike vs mountain bike. Will this pull it off?

Please note its for a kid aged 12, basically=, on some fields, through bike trails in a woods, and around local roads.

I would imagine it would say somewhere on the frame that it's not suitable for offroad use, however for some basic trails for a kid I'd imagine it would be grand, just don't expect it to live too long.

15.6kg total weight is on the heavy side, and speaking from experience that Zoom fork will seize before long. Have you tried 2nd hand? Even a lighter fixed fork might be better.
