But if you want to experience real offroading- get a full offroad Tandem. That is more fun than one of the basic MTB's.
I rode a mountain bike tandem once. Just a little in the dirt, though, mostly it was a road ride. Didn't care for it. Tandem wouldn't do so well on many of the trails I like, either (at least not with me on it
).
