Choosing the right bike in Bike Rider Game can dramatically change your gameplay experience. With various options available, each offering unique strengths and weaknesses, selecting the ideal bike for your style is crucial. After extensive playtime and testing each model, I’ve compiled a personal ranking to guide you in making the best choice for your rides.
1. Boar: The All-Around Champion
The Boar was the first upgrade I unlocked, and it immediately proved its worth. A significant step up from the starting Grasshopper, the Boar excels in nearly every aspect. Its handling is precise and responsive, making it easy to control in tight corners and technical sections. The sprint speed is respectable, and it truly shines when tackling rough terrain, maintaining momentum and stability where other bikes struggle. Recently, after spending considerable time on the Geronimo and Trailblazer, I returned to the Boar and rediscovered just how enjoyable it is to ride. The Boar offers a fantastic flow and, in my opinion, provides the most fun and engaging riding experience. For new players looking to upgrade, the Boar is undoubtedly the best bike to unlock first.
2. Geronimo: The Downhill Daredevil
The Geronimo is, in a word, crazy – in the best way possible. While it’s undeniably slow with a poor sprint, its handling is exceptionally precise, allowing for incredible control on technical descents. What truly sets the Geronimo apart is its ability to absorb massive drops that would wreck other bikes. Perhaps not the ideal choice for beginners or timed races, the Geronimo truly excels in Free Ride mode, where exploration and finding the most daring downhill lines are the goals. If you crave adrenaline and want to conquer the steepest, most challenging terrain, the Geronimo is an absolute blast.
3. Trailblazer: The Balanced Extreme Machine
Think of the Trailblazer as the Geronimo’s slightly more sensible cousin. It shares many of the Geronimo’s strengths but dials back the extreme characteristics just a notch. The Trailblazer is noticeably faster and sprints a bit better, making it more versatile across different game modes. However, it’s also slightly less forgiving on massive drops compared to the Geronimo. While I personally find the Geronimo’s wild nature slightly more appealing, the Trailblazer is arguably the more practical bike. In races, I often achieve better times with the Trailblazer, but the Geronimo’s sheer thrill factor gives it a slight edge in overall enjoyment.
4. Pacebreaker: The Speed Demon on Pavement
The Pacebreaker is a bike that demands finesse and precision to truly master. It’s incredibly fast on paved roads, though not excessively so, and maintains surprisingly decent handling. However, its fragility is a significant drawback. Pushing the Pacebreaker to its limits is a challenging but rewarding experience. It’s not as frustrating as the Javelin, offering a fun and engaging ride for players who enjoy speed and technical riding on smoother surfaces.
5. Grasshopper: The Starting Point
The Grasshopper is the bike you begin your Bike Rider Game journey with. It’s designed to be a jack-of-all-trades, but unfortunately, it masters none. Personally, I never truly connected with the Grasshopper. For some reason, it doesn’t suit my playstyle, and I found the game felt more challenging than it needed to be while using it. Switching to the Boar immediately improved my experience and enjoyment.
6. Javelin: The Beginner’s Trap
The Javelin is, without a doubt, the worst bike in Bike Rider Game. And when I say worst, I mean significantly worse than the others. It boasts incredible straight-line speed on tracks, but that’s where its positives end. It’s simply too fast for its own good, and the game’s level design doesn’t cater to its sole strength. Beyond speed, the Javelin offers nothing positive: it’s the most fragile bike, and its steering is laughably poor. I see the Javelin as a masochistic challenge for completionists. In fact, the last four challenges I have left are all Javelin rides, a testament to its difficulty. Crucially, the Javelin is a classic beginner’s trap. Don’t be fooled by its high-speed stats and unlock it as your first upgrade. It will likely hinder your progress, unlock fewer bike parts due to crashes, and lead to frustration, spoiling much of the fun. Unlock this one last, if at all.
Recommended Unlocking Order
While my ranking reflects personal preference, some bikes are better suited for different stages of the game. Although I enjoy the Geronimo immensely, I wouldn’t advise new players to unlock it too early. Its specialized nature and demanding handling are best appreciated with more experience, and its limitations are most apparent outside of Free Ride. Therefore, my recommended bike unlocking order is:
- Boar
- Trailblazer
- Pacebreaker
- Geronimo
- Javelin
