Giant is the better bike I believe, the 2017 Trance gets great reviews for improvements made since last years model. Its a bike im interested in to.
Haver you checked out the Bird Aeris 145? Also worth a look to throw another one in the mix. In that travel range, its between the Bird and Trance for me.

If your just getting into proper mountain biking and looking for Enduro type rigs I would also recommend the Bird Aeris 145.
The trek remedy is a beast of a bike but might be too much for most and everyday riding. Plus they always have proprietary stuff on them, like suspension and stem's etc.
The giant trance is a very good bike as well and more like the Bird but at a much much higher cost for kit.
You will definitely get great bang for your bike with Bird and they have all the new standards everyone wants.
Another good bang for the buck British bike is the Whyte T-130, or even the Whyte G-160. I have the 160 and even though it's an Enduro, DH capable bike, it pedals extremely well.

I own the Remedy 8 2016 and it can ride up anything like a cross country bike, and ride down anything like a beast! Unless you are doing really rough stuff I dont think you need a bike hat beefy. Cheers!

I pulled the trigger on a 2015 trance 2 a couple of seasons back, put close to 500 Miles on it by now. I love that bike, climbs well, descends like a beast, an overall great bike. I'm sure the bird is an awesome bike too! This is the first I've heard of it but a quick Google searched made it look promising.
