I've been using my bike for access while bear hunting in the Adirondacks.
The only time I've had issues is in the black greasy mud that remains after a puddle has started to dry up, mainly on abandoned RR grades.
Of course its sandy up here so mud is not all that common.
They do OK in loose gravel, but are helpless in loose sand.
