Recommendation about bicycle
 
Will this bicycle(cross legend man) will be good on dirt roads and traveling on long distances on road?

Welcome to the forum.
The Cross Legend Man looks pretty interesting.

I would say yes , it looks like a pretty nicely equipped bike.
Looks like it even comes with a front dynamo hub for the lights.
If the build quality is good and the price is acceptable , it should be a good bike for most any roads.

And what about the fork?Will 63mm travel distance be enough?

My Roam 3 only has 60mm travel on the forks , and it's fine for me.
I should qualify "for me" I'm older , weaker , and somewhat disabled , and 157 lbs.
In this context , the basic forks I have work well , they are very comfortable and work "well enough".
If I was 200 lbs , young , and athletically strong , they might be marginal at best.
They do provide a nice ride and lessen wrist and hand pain for my riding style.
I have never heard of Cross Bikes , but on paper it looks very nice as long as the price is relative to the build quality of the bike as a whole.
It would be great if you could ride one for a few miles to get a proper feel for it's capabilities and geometry.

LEGEND MAN is a typical European commuter/city bike:

It's already got the excellent Continental SpeedRIDE tires from the factory, and they aren't something you'll need to switch out later. Those tires are very good on light dirt and gravel, and also ride very well on pavement. They should support both of your competing needs well.

For dirt roads as you noted, more than enough. I'm 200 lbs on a Giant Roam 1 with the same fork, riding similar terrain, it works perfectly. Never bottoms out, and *never* pogo-sticks.

Remember, it's a trekking fork, intended for rough roads and gravel trails, etc. It's not a mountain bike fork, so is not suited for high-speed downhill with major drops, or jumping.

Used for what it is intended it is a great fork, and 63mm of travel is more than adequate.

That looks like a really nice bike, well equipped. I'd be interested in what it costs...

Cheers
