It can handle it

Purchased for medium to long gravel hauls and decked out for lite camping. Of course, you'd want to break it in a bit and run it on your local trails before hopping on a weekend ride. It so happens my local trails are a mix of road, gravel, and mountain trails. I started on the road and quickly moved to gravel where it is very much at home. But then the occasional mountain trail comes along. A bit of steep mixed with loose. Sharp turns with big penalties for not staying locked in. I am really pleased how it handles what I'd usually apply my Rocker to. Can this be the all-around, one bike for every purpose? Well, that depends. At 55 I am not hucking off of drops, nor would I try on this. But as long as you can stop a 700x45 tire, I'd feel fairly confident the Rallye can handle it. Let me drive that point home: the bike can handle the terrain, but it cannot ignore physics. 200lbs of bike, gear, and rider cannot stop on a steep washout with 45mm tires.

Couldnt love this bike more!

Snappy, solid, so well built! Have a handful of rides so far - chompin at the bit for more
