Help answer the question about fitness

What is the difference between a fitness and bike and a road bike?
I am a regular mountain biker, but like to road-ride, too. However, my full-suspension is way too much drama for the pavement and even my hardtail is too heavy for efficient road travel. I want something lighter and better suited. The problem is, I am not super fond of the "feel" of road bikes. I saw that Trek (my fave) had "fitness" bikes and "urban" bikes and I am wondering if anyone can tell me what are the advantages/disadvantages to choosing a fitness or urban bike over a road bike?

THANKS! :)
Just to add, a fitness bike is not a stationary bike. It is an actual style of bicycle like urban, road, mountain, triathalon, etc. I was just hoping that someone had some info on what might be better suited for me. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Yeah, I'm great at skill sports but hate exercising. For example, the catcher on a baseball team needs more skills-related fitness (if he knows what he's doing, he will have to work less physically), but a swimmer would need more raw fitness (while technique is still important, if he's out of shape physically, he won't win).
