Hey MAVRIX crew!
Our latest update mark a HUGE milestone for MAVRIX. Alongside the launch of Slopestyle mode, and a whole host of new tricks, we’re also delivering major upgrades to bike physics, animations and a brand new tutorial.
This update is all about expression, flow, and dialling in bike control. Let’s get into it.
Slopestyle is officially here! This new mode opens up leaderboards across all trails, letting you compete based on style, trick choice, and flow - not just speed.
To match the vibe, we’ve added THREE brand-new Slopestyle-focused trails:
Triple 9
Don’t Hang Up
Hips Don’t Lie
Tuck No-Hander
Superman Seatgrab
Tabletop
No Foot Can (Downhill bike only)
Barspin (Enduro bike only)
Tailwhip (Enduro bike only)
3 new Slopestyle trails as listed above.
New free ride areas added in the quarry and around the latest trails.
A peak-to-peak gondola and additional chairlifts make getting around the mountain faster and smoother.
We’ve made a big push on bike feel and realism in this latest update. You can expect:
New landing animations for smoother, more natural touchdowns.
Hip assist tech helps guide you into landings that aren’t perfectly lined up.
Added rider suspension, allowing some impact force to be absorbed through the rider.
New bike animations for speed tuck, speed tuck fail, and right-stick leaning.
Improved max pedal animation for better power delivery.
Whip size is now based on input rotation size, not how long it’s held.
More rider lean added to the right stick for improved handling
New riders, we’ve got you covered. Our new Bike Controls tutorial helps players get comfortable with riding, handling, and core mechanics right from the start.
New Red Bull sponsor track added.
Existing sponsors now feature additional progression levels, with unique rewards waiting at the top tiers.
Updated race line boundaries on select trails.
Controls screen now includes a dedicated Advanced Controls page showing all tricks clearly.
These updates represent a massive step forward for MAVRIX. Later today we'll be welcoming loads of new Riders as we'll be launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, which is so exciting.
As with all previous updates, leaderboards have been reset. Time to get some new records on the boards!
As always, keep the feedback coming, and we’ll see you out there, legends.
Big love
— Matt, Jono & the MAVRIX Team
