My son (13) is a mountain bike fanatic. We purchased him a Trek 29-we last year and he's outgrown it for more trails, lots of jumps and aggressive riding. Looking for a quality, cared for bike with dual-suspension. $600 - $1400 budget - he's been working and saving. It's his money. Anyone looking to quickly move a bike? 

He's 5'4" and growing.

Thanks. Happy Holidays!

It's a large, but I think it will fit, since he is growing.

Is it more of a XC bike? He's really doing short downhill, and hard jumps. (I'm less knowledgable than he, so apologies for not being as plugged into the sport!)
