I have a Troll. It's got 26 inch wheels and a 3 x 9 drive train. Chainrings are 46/36/26. Cassette is 36-11. It was advertised as an off road touring bike. I used it on a short gravel tour 2 years ago and I ride it on dirt trails all over the Shawnee Forest here in southern Illinois. I love my Troll. For me, the low gears are plenty low. I've been up some pretty steep, but short hills (>15% or more) without faltering. The middle chainring is where I do most of my level to moderate riding. I never use the big chainring off road and I almost never ride the Troll on paved roads. It's really not meant for road riding, I have much better bikes for that. So for me, that 46 ring is pretty much useless. I would consider a 2 x 10 or 11 with 36 / 26 or 24 chainrings. The bigger the cassette the better, 40t or 42t large sprocket, depends on the rear derailleur. Plenty of range for off road touring. Paved roads are a different animal.
