I find drop handlebars more comfortable than straight handlebars even if I ride for 1,5-2 hours so not super long distances. Of course this only applies if the stem is not slammed.
Where I live we don't have proper mountains, only small hills. I would really really like to ride in the mountains on proper trails with a full suspension MTB, but sadly that's not possible here. In mountain bike language the terrain is not gnarly enough.
I would buy this bike to completely get off the pavement (no cars) and ride longer distances on dirt roads, trails, singletrack etc. And sometimes I would ride trickier terrain, but again it's too boring with a MTB, but it would be fun with this, because it's more challenging.
I'm doing all this right now on my steel drop bar bike that has 38mm tyres, but I would like more tyre for increased comfort.
