It rides like a high end endurance road bike on pavement. It easily handles the type of riding described and much more.

Here it is with lights and Apidura frame bag, set up for a long grave ride which started in the pre-dawn hours. I'm currently researching and have just started purchasing gear for bikepacking and have zero hesitation.
