Spokes are preferred for off-road because they flex somewhat, which allows the rim to give under sharp bumps.

A cast wheel would deform, and remain permanently damaged.

Being I'm only an asphalt warrior, the regular Explorer suits my riding style better.

I learn something here every day. I really want to try off road riding; I bet it's a completely different animal than the nearly-guaranteed traction the road offers.
