  • [p]Tear up wild tracks, race through wooded trails, hit iconic spots, and get big air everywhere![/p]
• [p]B.R.A.A.P. (Build Rider And AI Profiles)[/p]
  • [p]BRAAP is back! This system allows players to create and customize the AI Riders and their Vehicles then compete against them in any event![/p]
  • [p]Create up to 16 custom AI Riders with unique appearances, personalities, and vehicles for every class. Build your riders from scratch or from Presets. Control which classes the riders race in by assigning them those vehicles.[/p]
• [p]Rider Customization[/p]
  • [p]Check out this blast from the past! O'Neal Hardwear Roncada '01 jersey, pants, and gloves! Pair them with new and custom color Sidi Atojo boots and make 2001 Stephane Roncada your first BRAAP Rider.[/p]

• [p]Rider Customization[/p]
  • [p]Cleaned out the closet and found a few pieces of unreleased gear. Fly Racing Lite 2025 and FXR Clutch Pro 2024 gear and gloves are now available in tons of stock and custom colors.[/p]
• [p]Gameplay[/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue which would cause a few riders to fall from the sky and be wrecked behind the start gate during gate selection in Supercross World Tour.[/p]
  • [p]Most playlists are now using the Timed Race format and have Gate Selection enabled.[/p]
• [p]UI[/p]
  • [p]Added headers to Preset lists for clarity and presentation.[/p]
  • [p]Corrected swapped Big Horn national track path images.[/p]
• [p]Animation[/p]
  • [p]Minor stunt animation clean-up and timing adjustments to smooth transitions.[/p]

• [p]Gameplay[/p]
  • [p]Frame rates exceeding 60 FPS may experience visual errors and inconsistent gameplay behaviors, especially when exceeding 120 FPS.
  • [p]Shift sounds can still trigger at the incorrect revs. These issues are currently being addressed. More news to come as work progresses.

• [p]Vehicle Presets[/p]
  • [p]With so many graphic kits, grips, seats, bars, and other parts to choose from, how can we expect you to settle on just one look? Pop in the Vehicle Presets menu to save up to 16 unique part and color presets for each vehicle. Preview, equip, and update each preset with no hassle.[/p]
  • [p]The Color option in the Garage is now inside Part Selection to make it closer to parts customization and presets.[/p]
• [p]Rider Customization[/p]
  • [p]Head to the Locker for new riding gear from O'Neal, all with custom color variants and matching gloves. Start with new 2025 designs for Element Racewear, Mayhem Scarz, Hardwear Flow, or Slam.[/p]

• [p]Fixes & Improvements[/p]
• [p]Pitbike Physics[/p]
  • [p]The jitter experienced on pit bikes should now be resolved. This issue was most visible at framerate extremes. The issue was resolved by slightly increasing mass of the bikes and the distribution of that mass. To compensate, both bikes' power output were slightly increased.[/p]

  • [p]You can now reset an entire category of Tuning settings to its default values.[/p]
  • [p]Tuning sliders now display a pip at default value, so you can see how far each setting is from the starting value.[/p]

  • [p]Easy AI just got a little easier. On Base Game tracks, Rookie and Amateur difficulty AI will move at slightly lower speeds and get back up to speed in a more controlled manner. This also has the effect of reducing rider-rider collisions, especially in corners and tough obstacles. And they will tend to take less risky rhythms and generate more errors when they try.[/p]
  • [p]Terrain deformation degeneration/reset in Pro Motocross 2025 tracks during long races no longer occurs.[/p]
• [p]DLC[/p]
  • [p]Redline Ridge Quarry will be entering the rotation of freeride playlists online.[/p]

  • [p]Frame rates exceeding 60 FPS may experience visual errors and inconsistent gameplay behaviors, especially when exceeding 120 FPS.[/p]
  • [p]Shift sounds can still trigger at the incorrect revs. These issues are currently being addressed. More news to come as work progresses.

  • [p]We've seen your feedback on the Pro Physics 450F and have made some changes. The bike is now a tiny bit heavier and more difficult to maneuver in-air. Tire-slip and suspension have been adjusted to improve cornering, reduce chatter in bumps, and make it easier to climb steep hills.[/p]

Additions & Updates

• Is someone just sitting there waiting to get skipped during Gate Selection? Well wait no more! Players taking more than 5 seconds to start looking for a gate will get skipped.
  

• The Pro MX 450F Experimental bike is now a little lighter and easier to maneuver in-air.
  
• The bike is more responsive and less likely to lock-up when braking into turns, and much easier to keep under control when leaning back or in a wheelie.
  
• Preload is now driven entirely by suspension compression forces. Nailing the timing of the release will be critical for making big jumps or keeping on rhythm.
  
• Pro Physics “Experimental” variants are now available for all new 2025 OEM 450F models!
  

• Color matching your parts and gear is now easier than ever with Loadout Colors. The color menu now contains colors extracted from your rider and vehicle for you to use. Expect even more colors in the future.
  
• Suit up in the new Fox Digi Image gear collection, including the V1 Digi Image helmet, Main Digi Image goggles, and 180 Digi Image gloves, jersey, and pants. Available in stock and custom colors.
  
• Say hello to the Fox Hello Future collection! This gear set includes: 180 Hello Future gloves, jersey, and pants, V1 Hello Future helmet, Main Hello Future Goggles, and Motion Hello Future Boots.

Fixes & Improvements

• To get your attention during Gate Selection, a new audio cue will play when it's your turn to select.
  

• To assist with online troubleshooting, server information is displayed in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This text can be disabled in the Online section of the HUD settings menu.
  

• When using Filters in the Locker, Garage, and elsewhere non-default filter options will be stylized so that it is obvious they are being applied and thus reducing the options visible in the menu.
  
• When holding the input for a Filter for about one second, the filter will be reset. No need to cycle through 10+ brands to get back to ALL.
  
• At the beginning of a Time Trials, the event type and track name are displayed on the pre-event info fly-in.
  
• The Music Player has received a little facelift and now stays hidden when the music volume is set to Off.

• The Gear indicator in the Slim speedometer has increased in size.
  
• Added new track images for 2025 Supercross to Event Selection menu and Loading Screen.
  

Additions & Updates

Pro Experimental Physics

• An experimental Pro Physics bike has been added to the vehicle lineup, and we need your feedback!
  
• The Pro MX 450F Experimental bike uses our most advanced physics model to date, providing greater realism and accuracy than ever before.
  
• The bike is a little slower and heavier, requiring more attention to speed when tackling rhythms. It is also much easier to wreck on hard landings, so think twice about that full send.
  
• It also features a more accurate weight distribution to simulate real forces, especially on the ground. Expect more accurate tire-slip under acceleration, more inertia when cornering, and more grip when leaning the bike in ruts and berms.
  
• In air physics will also see a significant change. Quick-scrubs will throw the rear wheel in the opposite direction of the scrub. Both scrubs and quick-scrubs are now more effective at staying low.
  
• The bike also uses a new "Clutch RPM Buildup" feature, replacing the “tap” for clutch boost. Briefly hold the clutch to "build-up" RPMs then release for max power. Utilizing the clutch requires a bit more skill and attention to get the timing just right. When cornering, hold the clutch going into the turn then release when exiting. To set up or recover in a rhythm section, hold the clutch while airborne then release it as soon as you land to build up speed.
  
• Our goal is to make this an ongoing cycle of feedback and iteration, based on how the bike feels in your hands. Find the bike your garage, and let us know your feedback directly, by joining us on Discord
