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.

    Thanks for all the comments guys! All of your comments have been very helpful and informative. I’ll definitely bookmark this thread for future purposes. Based on the information given, I’ll be getting a cross-country bike as my wife and I want to take a ‘cross-country’ trip on bike rather than a car. Sure, my Trek could handle such a trip and I will take it on such a trip. Hell, I think my old, crappy Mongoose could handle such a trip if I fixed it up. But for those scenic/nature routes I’ll consider a cross-country bike. I see a lot more bikes in my future! I once again want to thank all of you for your comments. I’m trying to go car-free and I’ll definitely be posting in this community more often. For the third time, thank you and peace out!
