Dirt's no problem, it handles surprisingly well off road for a 550+ lb bike. Gravel, that's another story. This farm lane wasn't bad, but getting to it took a road with fresh gravel, and up to around 45, felt like the wheels weren't in sync with each other. 55, it was smooth, will just an occasional slight wiggle. At 55 I just couldn't get the idea of a long grind across gravel out of my head, so I didn't go that fast very far at all. I've done a lot of miles on gravel on two wheels and learned you just have to trust the bike, it can do it. Just feels like the front wheel never quite figures out where straight ahead is.
