Sorry, I didnt mean for it to come across like I am poopooing your bike and off road ideas for the sake of it.
I really like your bike, it seems pretty flashy & expensive. But it doesnt seem like the best tool for the job. Thought you might have some overexpectations about how it will ride. Ive done most of my off road riding on rigid bikes.
But there is a difference between even 80's-90's steel MTB's compared to something cruiserish like your bike. They are more handle-able, the geometry is setup so you have lots of leverage to comfortably move the bike around underneath you.
Your red bike looks long and difficult to handle.
