looks ok to me but i don't know shit about all-terrain folding bikes.

i've just seen you posting the same request in a few threads and wanted to let you know that /n/ is an incredibly slow board (due to an infestation of the foamer virus) so just be patient and someone with better knowledge will be here in the next day or three. yes it really is that dead here.

Oh, OK.
Thanks, actually could the bike above be modified into something that could handle off road?
Swap out tires, add suspension etc.

Any bike can take the odd trail. Just don't try taking your folding bike to proper downhill terrain.

Do you want to ride the odd trail here and there while mostly riding on roads? If so then buy whatever you want and ride it normally. Put on some tires that don't have massive knobbies so you don't suffer massive rolling resistance penalties while riding on roads. Ride them normally at relatively high pressure. You can drop the pressure if you get to longer trails you want to ride. You don't need suspension. I've taken carbon road bikes with 23 mm tires down the occasional trail without any problems. Just don't expect that the folding bike can take the trails at the same speed and has the same handling as a full suspension MTB.

You want a bike that will do everything. There's no such thing. If you're gaining at something you're losing at something else.

Eg hybrid tires which have treads on the outside and bald in the middle...you're not gripping good on loose surface and you're not going as fast on pavement either.

The closest thing I could suggest, if you want a do-it-all bike, is a hardtail mtn bike. You'll be a little slower on the roads and it won't fold, but it can ride over any terrain without any issues and will be well durable for many years.

Holy shit that's terrifying. All the pictures show it failing in the same place on that folding joint
