Grabbing a massive mountain bike and launching yourself off a terrifying dirt ramp is an absolute rush. If you can’t hit the physical trails today, Bike Unchained 3 completely captures that aggressive downhill speed right on your screen. Red Bull just dropped the third installment of this massive racing series, and it is easily the tightest, most visually stunning MTB simulator on mobile right now.

CHOOSE YOUR POISON: RAW SPEED OR MASSIVE AIR

You basically get two entirely different ways to wreck your digital tires. The downhill mode is purely about white knuckle speed, forcing you to grip the dirt and shave milliseconds off your run just to conquer the mountain. If you prefer gravity defying tricks, the jump mode demands that you hurl your bike into the sky to rack up ridiculous style points. Both modes are wildly addictive, incredibly fast, and fiercely competitive against a massive global player base.

HOARDING TOP TIER SPONSOR GEAR AND BIKES

You aren’t stuck riding a generic, heavy clunker. The virtual garage is absolutely stacked with officially licensed frames from massive heavyweights like Specialized, Canyon, Commencal, YT, and GT. But you don’t just buy a stock bike and call it a day. The game forces you to aggressively swap out the guts of your ride. Bolting on high end aftermarket forks and drivetrains from SRAM, Box Components, and SR Suntour lets you build a highly tuned machine that matches your exact riding style. Throwing on fresh, branded riding gear from Leatt and 100% means you actually look the part while tearing up the dirt.

SHREDDING GORGEOUS TRAILS WITH ABSOLUTE LEGENDS

A racing simulator is entirely worthless if the dirt looks like pixelated mush. The environments here are ridiculously gorgeous. You get to carve through hyper realistic, sprawling mountain ranges that genuinely feel like a massive natural playground. To survive the steepest drops, you actually need to study the tape. The developers brought in a heavy roster of real world MTB royalty like Brandon Semenuk, Vali Höll, Carson Storch, and Loic Bruni to act as in game mentors. Unlocking these icons lets you steal their signature riding styles and apply their absolute mastery of the bike to your own chaotic runs.
