Does anyone have any experience riding this off-road? How does it perform on trails, etc?

Depends on the trail. It certainly has the front shocks but the heavy battery in the rear can't take much of a pounding. I broke a rear rack on a 6 inch drop. Prodeco sent a free replacement.

Yes it is amazing for cruising around on! I just got it today, but it has been a nice ride so far! Very smooth!

I, wont take mine on the highway. Wont even plate it. I am not a qualified mechanic/trailer builder. I just use mine on the ranch, hauling tools and whatnot. Maybe if you are confident in your building skills it would be ok. To me it seems a bit small to pull down the road behind a pick up or car. Wheels are too small for me, also i dont think it has enough weight to keep it stable. For the road, and for safety, if it were me, i'd get something bigger. Just one mans opinion.

I guess that depends on what you mean by offroad. On compacted dirt I think it would do okay, probably not so good on gravel or sand or loose dirt.

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.

Hi,I really haven't done much off road.The throttle switch is plastic and I was afraid it may break.I have done curbings,lawns,and some crappy roads.Handles well on these surfaces.The tires seem to be cracking on the sides.Little disappointed only had it a year.

Yes it would work for you. I like it a lot. Would like it too. It made for off road and work great on the street.

My KTM EXCR 450 worked great. I drove over 1200 miles and no issues at all.

I've got them on an old Trek Session 7 dual sus, heavy and plush. They make pavement riding so much easier and safer, highly recommended unless you're doing fast off road stuff. The reflective strip is an added bonus.

Track and road conditions, these tires are superb. I haven't had an issue with them speed wise. Offroad, however, is a different story as I haven't taken them off roading. The most I've done with them is take them down a dirt path for maybe a tenth of a mile and there was a noticeable increase in resistance. Moreover, the tread situation is geared for road conditions so traction on the dirt was an issue. However, as I said, I only used them for a tenth of a mile on a tame dirt path so you may want to look around for a better issue or tire if offroading is a must or if it is anything more taxing than a simple path.

I have 6 acres of rolling hills. My girl rides all 6 acres just fine. The battery and the motor are strong. She has a blast and it gives her a large degree of independence.

I have road the bike on dirt trails and the front and rear suspension seem to handle the bumps ok as I haven't had any issues. I know that I plan on riding downhill trails on a local mountain next year, but before I attempt this I will have the bike completely looked over and tuned up. Downhill trail riding requires disk brake and full suspension and for the riding I have done I do feel that this bike is capable of handling it especially if you have a professional bike shop give it a tune up and a solid once over to make sure that suspension and brake are set up for your riding style. Its a good bike! I have road the bike on dirt trails and the front and rear suspension seem to handle the bumps ok as I haven't had any issues.

You can do trails, but the stampede doesn't crawl like a 55t crawler setup. It's a basher, so you will have to use a bit more throttle to get over obstacles. This rig is worth it dude. I can go anywhere my buddies axial can go, slow, or extremely dang fast.

not very fast, but alot of fun on trails, you can change the motor to make it a little faster but dont go crazy then it will break, if you want fast then buy a 4x4 brushless truck.

My wife's is supper tuff. It climbs like no tomorrow, I drove it up a mountain over 400 yards that for a person was all but hands and knees, went just a little to much side hill and it rolled and flipped over rocks and brush and still is ticking. Don't go ramming full blast into stuff and you should be ok.Got parts on line where ever. Love ours it's a supper truck.

Hey Digs, The longest ride I have done was 35miles, and it was pretty comfortable. I wouldn't know how it would feel on 60mile rides though. I was getting a bit sore around 35 miles though but I am not sure if you are suppose to feel sore around that many miles. Hill climbing is still great on this bike. The only concern or problem i have is that the seat post to the handle bars is a little short. And when you have both your feet parallel to the ground and you turn the wheel, it tends to hit your foot. If you have more cash to spare, get the $1,900 kestral RT 1000.

Yes we mostly ride a paved trail with an occasional dip onto some very minor off road. A smooth non aggressive fibre.
