I don't think any serious off road riding endeavour and NC700X/750X would be mentioned in the same sentence. I know that off road riding can be done on them and with some modifications done well enough but the starting point for dirt riding is on a dirt bike with wheels and suspension designed for that. The NC bikes are street bikes with suspension and wheel type and size for that task. I rode some hard pack and gravel roads with my 700X but was never comfortable if there was a layer of loose sand on top of a harder substrate. 17" wheels do not handle soft surfaces very well and tend to dig in. There is a reason that real dirt bikes run 21" fronts.
