Deathbike (Arena)

Overview

The Western Deathbike is an Arena Contender motorcycle added to GTA Online with the Arena War update on December 11, 2018. It is a custom conversion of the Western Gargoyle, with worn bodywork, a single offset headlight, tire chains and a cut-down rear fender. Its look is based on Daryl's bike from the TV series The Walking Dead. It comes in Apocalypse, Future Shock and Nightmare versions.

Performance

• Top speed: about 241.4 km/h (150 mph)
• Lap time: 0:59.017
• Drivetrain: RWD with a 4-speed gearbox and V-twin engine
• Mass: 135 kg
• Ratings: speed 78.9, acceleration 78.1, braking 36.7, traction 62.1

Handling is close to the Gargoyle's, but the Deathbike has one of the highest top speeds of any land vehicle. Upgrades include jump mods, rocket boost, armor and twin side-mounted miniguns. It survives three homing missiles or one RPG. It offers the rider no bulletproofing. If fitted, the side blades can catch on curbs during turns. In Arena War modes, falling off counts as being wasted, so watch your landings.
