Ride 6 is one of the most realistic bike racing games, but that also makes it one of the hardest to master. Besides controlling the bike well, new players will need some time to learn how to play the game properly.
For beginners, the game can be tough, but there are some tips that can help you get started and improve your skills, eventually competing with and beating others. If you’re serious about racing and want to make sharp turns and speed past opponents, consider these beginner tips.
Learn When To Use Each Brake
One of the first things to understand is how your front and rear brakes affect your bike’s handling. Use the rear brake for sharper turns, and the front brake for wider ones. When making sharp turns with the rear brake, stay inside the curve and keep accelerating to maintain momentum. For wider turns, release the rear brake and apply the front brake. Timing is key early on in the game.
Brake Earlier Than You Think
A good strategy is to brake before you believe you need to. Follow the training markers and start braking before the orange arrows appear on the track. If you’re still going over 100 mph into a turn, you’re going too fast—try to slow down to less than 80 mph before entering the turn. This gives you more control and enough time to adjust the brakes while keeping the throttle pressed to maintain momentum, which is especially helpful for variable-radius and double-apex turns.
Understand Electronic Management
Familiarize yourself with electronic systems like ABS, TCS, and AW. Knowing how they interact with your bike’s trajectory is essential. Adjust these settings to match your racing style:
- ABS: Prevents your wheels from locking in emergency braking but can slow down performance.
- TCS: Limits acceleration power, especially in wet conditions, to avoid losing control. Adjust this when exiting turns to help regain speed.
- AW: Stops wheelies by limiting power delivery when moving fast, preventing the bike from lifting off the ground.
Learn To Lean
Leaning helps you control turns, especially when you’re going fast. Leaning back slightly can slow your bike or help you navigate tight corners, giving you an advantage when every second counts.
Adjust The Braking
If controlling your bike is challenging, try changing your settings. Enabling automatic brakes can help slow down during races, allowing you to stay in the game until you get a better feel for manual braking.
Experiment In Career Mode
Take the time to explore different options in career mode. Some tracks are easier than others, so doing time trials on less tricky routes can help build your skills. You can also customize your bike for specific courses and choose tracks with fewer sharp turns to keep control.
Complete Ride School
Don’t rush into races immediately, even if you’ve played Ride before. Ride School offers valuable lessons on how everything works, including braking, turning, and handling different terrains. It’s a good way to learn the fundamentals and improve your skills before jumping into competitive races.
Don’t Forget The Used Bike Shop
When starting out, you don’t need to stick with default bikes. The used bike shop offers affordable options that perform just as well as new bikes, leaving you with more credits for customizations.
Customize Your Bike
If you’re struggling with specific races, consider customizing parts of your bike. Upgrading speed, acceleration, and handling components can give you the edge you need to keep up and succeed.
Adjusting settings like brakes, electronic management, and customizing your bike are important steps for improving your racing experience in Ride 6.
