Some other parts are terrible. Most of it should be ok, though. Depending on when you ride, you may encounter many a waterfalls running on the road. We encountered a rather wide river with a missing bridge and had to wade through pretty deep water... We had to take a couple of hundred km detour because Tanglang La was closed. The road, like almost everything else on this journey will be a little unpredictable. Things changes form year to year, month to month... Be prepared for all eventualities and you should be ok. Firefox hardtail should be fine. I know somebody who did this trip comfortably on a black Atlas, while someone one else on a rather expensive bike, had to abandon the ride due to equipment failure.
