Wouldn't you get more exercise on a heavy bike?

It's because Giant don't declare a weight and instead have this text
"The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All Giant bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality."
I think the text is a bit of a cop-out, they could have given an average. But if Giant the manufacturers don't declare it then can't expect resellers to do so either.
That being said Dr Google suggests it weighs around 13 kg.

For that price I'd expect a bloke to be cycling it all the way to your house.

Tempted by this - I have a cheapo steel-framed bike which weighs a ton and am thinking of getting something lighter and better for general exercise rather than any serious cycling. Would this fit the bill? Is there any other make I should consider for round about the same price or less?
Thanks

The Giant won because it's a more respected brand and slightly more mountain bike features. The Verenti (Wiggle own brand) is more road focused.
