    Unicorn on Dirt Roads

    Hello!

    I am thinking about getting a Honda Unicorn to ride on mostly bad pavement and decent dirt roads.

    Is the bike's suspension up to the challenges of lots of ruts and potholes?

    I won't go quickly over rough spots, and I will not be jumping the bike, but a lot of the roads near me are more like trails :-)

    Thanks for any input!

    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

      It will take the beatings, having a Unicorn and I often ride it off-roaders and am pretty impressed by it. . . Just make sure that you service the bike earlier than you normally do and make sure you tighten the bolts if you were get that feeling, else it's fine to ride it off-road. . .

      Also upgrade your tires to off-road tires from CEAT/MRF or Michellin, it'll be better fitted for those roads and also do adjust the shocks. . .

      Cheers!!!
