If you find you can't manage, then you can always lower it later quite cheaply. It's a lot easier (and cheaper) to lower one than it is to raise one of the ABS low models!
thanks guys! that's reassuring, I never fell on the bike before and I'd like to keep it that way

Another question I have if this machine is still good on the roads, since offroading to street ratio will be probably like 50/50. Are such tyres good enough for asphalt I mean do they have enough grip? My offroading will be just gravel roads not a rocky climbing.
