You hit the nail on the head. More and more people seem to be looking for something that keep all the options open. Situations where a decision to not go somewhere because of their setup is becoming less acceptable.
I didn't buy this bike to stick to tarmac. Instead I'm spending more time finding donkey tracks.
Have a go with your gear like that through the dunes or a sandy track. Fraser island is good to try this out. I reckon you'll quickly reconsider.
The point is that there is ample scope for improvement. Why not make it? It's a gap in the market and a simple job I reckon.
