Here's a comparison of some offroad specs for the RX3. There's obviously a lot more to say about offroad performance than this (like damping rates, shock features, durability, quality, frame and fork stiffness etc), but it's still interesting.
I listed popular dual sport and adventure bikes under 450 lbs, plus the EU spec XT660Z Ténéré just for fun. The RX3 again holds its own with good specs, as well as being the 2nd lightest and the least expensive bike in this list.
The RX3's optional 19" front wheel and knobbies would increase its ground clearance by another .5" to 1" depending on selected tire and tread, but the same is true of any bike, so I only used stock specs. I couldn't find official ground clearance specs for 2 of the bikes so I took the best estimate from different forums.
The table abbreviations are: Curb Weight, Engine size, Ground Clearance (in), Front Wheel (in), Rear Wheel (in), Front Travel (in), Rear Travel (in) and MSRP. The table is sorted by ground clearance, then front travel.
