For sure. The Hunq is shredable. No argument there. I even take my lightweight Terraferma on the rough stuff--on the "road" in this photo I'd've vastly preferred having my Hunq but I was on my Terraferma when I got there so no turning back! http://www.flickr.com/photos/cwmcmillen/9765741231/
It all depends, I suppose, on what feels best. There's no right answer, but it is fun to learn what others are doing and where they might find a given bike has limits or conversely unknown possibilities. My wish with the Hunq is that it could take wider tires; as it is 2.3 is pretty wide so I'll survive. Best wishes, Christian PS: If anyone wants to sell their Bullmoose bars I might in the market.
