This might be the wrong community to ask this but I’ll give it my shot. I already own a very good Trek bike but it’s an urban commuter. I want something that handle dirt and country roads just as good as a Jeep or Land Cruiser. I know mountain bikes are best suited for off-road scenarios but I’ve only ever used urban bikes and BMXs. Is there a brand that is revered by mountain bike enthusiasts in the same way that Jeep is to car guys? Thanks in advance.
Old jeeps were very capable. Short wheel base, good ground clearance and a strong 4x4 system. The modern rubicons are still quite capable but jeep has shifted to feel more like luxury than sport utility.
