## Key takeaways

- Holding the up arrow, the Racer read 39 or 38 km/h at 3 seconds, 95 or 96 at 6 and 126 at 9 in two rides.
- Police read 51, 101 or 102 and 128; Cross read 44 or 42, 93 or 94 and 119.
- In five of six rides the bike ended against the boundary fence at 0 km/h within 15 seconds.
- The one ride that did not hit the fence reached 151 km/h at 12 seconds and 169 at 15.

**The first motorbike game tip is to steer early: in [Dustrider](https://yesthisgame.com/dustrider/) holding the up arrow took every bike to 119 to 128 km/h within nine seconds, and five of our six rides ended against the boundary fence.** The road is wide, but at that speed the open sand and the fence arrive quickly.

## How the game works

Dustrider is a free-riding 3D game on a desert road, seen from behind the rider. A dial in the top right shows the speed in km/h and the gear, with a nitro bar below it. A panel on the left lists the keys and has three buttons for the bikes: Racer, Police and Cross.

## What we measured

We played in a test browser at 1280 by 800 pixels with software rendering. For each of the three bikes we made two rides: click the bike button, click the game once, hold the up arrow and read the speed dial after 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 seconds.

*Speed in km/h while holding the up arrow (two rides per bike)*

| Bike | 3 s | 6 s | 9 s |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Racer | 39, 38 | 95, 96 | 126, 126 |
| Police | 51, 51 | 101, 102 | 128, 128 |
| Cross | 44, 42 | 93, 94 | 119, 119 |

Two rides per bike in one test browser. In five of the six rides the bike then ended against the boundary fence at 0 km/h within 15 seconds; the Racer ride that did not reached 151 km/h at 12 seconds and 169 at 15.

*Speed nine seconds after the start, up arrow held, average of two rides.*

## What is around the road

The desert has a road with yellow lines, an overpass, dry trees and open sand. A fence in the distance marks the edge, and the bike stops against it.

## 4 tips that follow from the numbers

- **Steer early.** Five of six rides with the key held ended at the fence.
- **Try all three bikes.** They differ by only a few km/h at nine seconds.
- **Use the handbrake** on Space before the edge of the area.
- **Reset with R** after the fence.

## Where to try it
