MissionRaces1.01 Game Launch
Bike Races
Classic GTA Online race type on two wheels, from dirt bikes to sportbikes and quads, available since launch for up to 30 players.
Overview
Bike Races are one of the standard race types in GTA Online and have been there since the game launched in October 2013. They follow the usual race rules but limit the field to motorcycles and similar two-wheel or quad vehicles, such as the Sanchez, Blazer, Sovereign and Thrust. Lobbies hold between 1 and 30 players, and players race against each other with no teams.
How it works
- The host picks a Bike Race from the Jobs list and sets laps, weather, time of day, traffic and whether custom vehicles are allowed.
- Every rider must pass through all the checkpoints in order. Point-to-point routes end at a finish line, and lap circuits repeat.
- Riders who fall off respawn at the last checkpoint and lose time doing so.
- Final positions decide the payout, and the winner takes the biggest share.
Tips
- Off-road routes reward dirt bikes like the Sanchez. Road circuits suit faster street bikes.
- Lean forward on straights and back on landings to stay upright over jumps.
- Brake before tight corners. Crashing costs much more time on a bike than in a car.
- Upgrade engine, brakes and transmission on your own bike if custom vehicles are enabled.
Rewards and unlocks
- GTA$ and RP based on finishing position.
- Available from game launch (1.01).
