MX Bikes Dirt physics that reward practice

MX Bikes simulates motorcycle dynamics, tyre behaviour, chassis flex and bike setup from the ground up, so throttle, lean and rider weight all matter. You shape ruts into soft ground as you ride, deal with wet dirt and wet weather, and learn to carry speed without washing out or swapping sideways. It is difficult on purpose, and staying upright for a full lap feels like progress. First or third person, with controller, VR and head-tracking support if you want it.

There is no AI to race and no career mode, so the racing is you against other people. You can host and join races over LAN and online, including dedicated servers, while event data feeds rider statistics for comparison. Starts are tight, lines matter more each lap as the terrain deforms, and one mistake in traffic costs places. Come for tense, fast-paced battles where holding your line is a skill in itself.

The base game is a platform to build on. Tools and documentation let advanced users create and add tracks, bikes, helmets, protections and more. You can also paint your bike, helmet, kit, boots and gloves to your taste. Mods are close to required to get the full choice of bikes and replicas of real-style tracks, so plan on spending some time finding the ones you like.

Setup work is part of the fun here. You adjust the bike to suit the track, pick lines through developing ruts, and choose rider gestures on the fly. An automotive industry-standard tyre model, dynamic terrain deformation and wet-terrain simulation give each change something to bite into. A plugins interface can also send realtime bike data to external programs, which suits players who like telemetry and tinkering.
