I took the Scrambler with all the cool parts on a 20 or so mile demo ride in may. We stayed on the roads around the shop in Janesville Wis. The bike is a really fun ride. It handles well and performs just like a retro re-make should.
Keep in mind...the original enduro winning Triumphs that the factory had Steve McQueen ride were actually very dirt worthy. They were also at LEAST 150lbs lighter than the new retro Scrambler.
I suppose the new bike would do ok on a gravel road. If however...you came across a muddy section, you would be wise to turn around. When your riding in the dirt, it's not if you drop the bike...It's when.
Besides...the bike is just too good looking to thrash it around.
