I'd say I'm 90% on pavement with this bike despite it's bona fides of an off pavement adventure cycle. But honestly, riding around my city, some of the pavement is rougher than some of the trails I've taken it down.
Finding fresh pavement feels divine; so smooth, so quiet, lovely riding if you can find it.

Don’t try it too fresh though. I work in construction and once saw a guy ride around a “sidewalk closed” sign and bunny hop off of a curb into fresh, uncompacted asphalt about 5 feet behind the paver. Fortunately he kept it upright enough to not lay down on 300 degree asphalt, but I imagine he had a miserable time cleaning his bike.
