The Great Divide, while not a typical road tour, is less than 3℅ singletrack. The vast majority is dirt and gravel roads. Still an impressive feat, but not quite "off-road" either.

Are there folders that can be ridden off-road? Yeah, there's probably a few, but it's like using a really nice knife as a screwdriver. It may work, but you're gonna destroy that knife.
