Is this bike good for trails, off road?

This bike is my wife's bike and she hasn't used it much since I purchased it. It is a well built bike and well worth the money I paid for it. My wife is very happy with it and I'm sure she will enjoy it once we move to our new house. It was purchased to use on bike trails.

I received this bike just before weather turned cold. I haven't ridden it much so can't answer your question, sorry.

my wife only rides in smooth surfaces but it has front shocks and the seat is very comfortable . it might not be good for hard off road use

I do drive mine outdoors, but it is not very rugged. It is good on paved surfaces but not on gravel or bumpy yards. I have ridden mine in the rain but I wouldn't let it get too wet or it might damage it. I don't think it would be good in snow or on icy surfaces. Better for malls or paved surfaces.

I think this bike would be much too heavy for that purpose. You need a bike with a lighter frame. This is more a commuter road bike not suitable for competitive races.

It is great around the neighborhood and at the zoo. The front shock absorbers are great for paved areas, but I would not take it on a trail. It would probably be fine for airports, but I have not used it in this capacity.

I would say no, it is not. My reason being that it has very large, narrow tires which glide wonderfully over pavement, but would probably not fare very well on sharp edged stones or gravel. I would suggest a more rugged "mountain" style bike with the wider tires and possibly a longer travel suspension.

I would recommend a higher end bike for competition. This is a good starter bike and it is great for exercise or recreation, but it is simply not on par with Shimano or Fuji. It will do in a pinch, but I is not ideal.

It's a great mix of wide beam and good throw. There are two different lenses and each are tuned a bit different. I have no trouble at all doing a 30mph downhill singletrck with it on high, so I doubt you'll have much trouble at all. I do most trails with it on medium, and only need high for fast downhills.

Don't think so, I think it would be okay for the occasional dirt/gravel you just need to cross but on an actual trail? Might be a challenge with the tires being slim with less contact on the ground. Haven't actually tried it hardcore on a trail mind you.

I wouldn't recommend it. It bottoms out just trail riding with 160psi. Granted, I am 250lbs... Not happy with it, and if you're jumping, doubt you would be either. Just my $.02

If the route is flat you're probably ok. I have the cruiser for riding around my neighborhood and hills are a little brutal with the single gear.

I've had this tire on dirt roads as well as "rails to trails" bike paths. It handles both fine. Depending on the consistency of the dirt road, and how much of your riding is off pavement, you might want to consider a beefier tire (or a mountain bike), but if you "dirty trail" riding is relatively small stretches between long ribbons of pavement, you'll be fine. As far as the compatibility question goes, brand doesn't matter; it's all about the size.

It should not be too big for you, but it is definitely not built for rocky surfaces. It is a road bike, with narrow tires for speed. You'll want a mountain bike or hybrid for rocky trails.

This bike is only good for street use if tires are replaced with street tires. Its awesome with street tires

would these tires be suitable for a mountain bike that I plan to ride only on the street?

I am very happy with the bike. I would buy it again. A friend also bought one and loves it. It gets comments and questions when i take it out - it's a good looking bike and comfortable to ride. i have the three speed which is adequate for in town riding and trail riding in this area.

IMHO pretty we'll, but keep in mind the motor is primarily to be used as an assist for pedaling, not as primary power. I don't really use it for pure off road - I primarily use it for going to, from and on rail trails.

I have been extremely satisfied with the bike. I have used it on paved roads and off road. It is excellent in every situation I have used it. I was surprised with the quality given it's price. I highly recommend it.
