Throttle, lean, land it, then do it again
Trials Ride 2 is a side-on motorbike trials game where the course itself is the opponent. Ramps, steep climbs and awkward stacks of junk stand between you and the finish, and getting over them takes a light touch on the throttle plus well-timed shifts of the rider's weight. Rush an obstacle and you go over the bars; read it first and the bike floats through.
How to play Trials Ride 2
- Hold the throttle to roll forward and build just enough speed for the next obstacle.
- Lean back to lift the front wheel onto ledges, and lean forward to keep it down on climbs.
- Brake to control your speed on drops and to line up tricky approaches.
- Reach the finish line to clear the track; if the rider falls, you take that track again.

Tips to play better
- Creep up to tall obstacles and give a short burst of gas at the base; hitting them at speed usually bounces you back.
- Tip the rider back slightly in the air so the rear tire touches down first and soaks up the landing.
- Let off the throttle just before the top of a steep ramp so the front wheel does not slam down on the far side.
- When an approach goes wrong, roll back a little and line it up again instead of forcing the climb.

Trials Ride 2 FAQ
Is speed important in Trials Ride 2?
Only where the ground is clear. Most obstacles are easier at low speed with short bursts of throttle, and a clean run beats a fast one that ends in a fall.
Why does my bike flip backward on climbs?
Too much throttle with your weight too far back lifts the front wheel. Lean forward and feather the gas until you are over the top.
