Several reviews emphasize that learning to hook into the ruts and manage traction is a key part of the satisfying gameplay loop.

The game allows riders to extensively customize the visual appearance of their bike and rider using a wide variety of officially licensed parts and components. Additionally, the bike setup can be tuned, enabling players to adjust factors like transmission, suspension, and gear ratios to fine-tune the bike's performance to their preferences.
