'Ride' (ALL) Shows Off Customization - Screens

Ride offers players the chance to ride over 100 bikes, in four different categories (Superbikes, Supersports, Naked, and Historical Bikes) and take them hurtling at full speed over a huge variety of city, country and historic circuits from the world of motorcycling.

Two wheels. Strings of code. Graphics assets. City tracks and racetracks. Speed. The roar of the engine. Elements that intertwine to form a coherent whole; particles charged with energy and fueled with adrenaline combine to forge a new form of life. A primordial atomic element, the first stirrings of a revolution that will alter the concept of 'motorcycle videogames' forever: a revolution that will come to be known as Ride.

RIDE offers an intense and incredibly deep racing experience with more than 100 bikes from the world’s most popular manufacturers, along with a diverse selection of circuits that range from city, country, and historic tracks from the world of motorcycling. Ride offers unprecedented levels of vehicle and rider customization, presenting players with a vast array of options to keep gameplay fresh and exhilarating over the long term. The Ride experience will accompany players and riders alike on the long road of the true motorcyclist.

From the grease of the garage to the sight of burning rubber on the racetrack, RIDE offers motorcycle enthusiasts and gamers alike a complete racing experience as gamers take to four different categories of racing – Superbikes, Supersports, Naked, and Historical bikes. The title offers extensive vehicle and rider customization, presenting players with a vast array of options to keep gameplay fresh and exhilarating over the long term.


Over 100 items of clothing for men and women. 20 bike upgrade packs, and a wide range of styles for your RIDE-AVATAR. These are just some of the features that make RIDE the game that every motorcycle enthusiast, and every gamer who loves bikes, has always dreamed of getting their hands on. RIDE players can customize:

  • Styles: Choose the gender of your Rider, from male and female avatars, choose their haircut, and their style - from full racing gear for the experts, to jeans and a t-shirt for a more casual chic look.
  • Rider: Choose your favorite clothing from a wide selection of items, including: Helmets, Visors, Suits, Boots, Gloves, Jeans, and Jackets, all officially licensed gear*. Impress other riders with your style, and blow your friends away by recreating your real motorcycle gear in-game and then beating them to the finish line.
  • Bikes: The bike is the focal point of RIDE, and the bike Upgrade Packs are an essential part of the experience: use them to stay ahead of the pack. Upgrade the engine, transmission, brake system, suspension system, wheels, and look of your bike. The changes you make don't just alter the bike's appearance, they influence the bike's performance on the track, and in some cases - such as the exhaust system - the sound of your bike as you roar around the track. In order to maintain the high level of realism the changes and customizable features available reflect each individual manufacturer's official options.

All the game items used for Rider and Bike customisation are accessible right from the start of the game. They can be acquired through a simple system of earning Credits. This virtual currency can be earned in any game mode, both online and offline.

The customization possibilities are endless. For the hardcore motorcycle fans out there, the developers of the Milan Milestone team have developed a range of options to change your Rider's position on the Bike, accessible from the Riding Style menu. Recreate your own real riding style down to the last detail through a series of indicators - lateral and frontal head angle, shoulder position, seat position, inside knee position and so on - and then capture those magic moments with the Photo Mode, to share images of your avatar in action with your friends, and your rivals.
