Patch Notes - May 21, 2026

New Stuff

New Trails (with racing)

- Down, Set, Go — blue

- Heartwood — blue

- ROYGBIV — blue

- Mini World Cup — black

- Trolley Problem — blue

Game Chat

- Reworked chat — no more huge gaps or bad formatting

- 256-character limit per message

- Chat now keeps your scroll position and doesn't jump when a new message comes in

Berm Detection & Leaning

- New setting to turn off berm detection assist. Berm detection angles the bike automatically for berms — turn it off if you want to control leaning manually with the right stick.

- Berm detection adjusted so it doesn't look as far ahead to detect berms which results in less false negative leaning. In other words, your bike shouldn't automatically tilt on flat ground leading up to a berm now.

- Leaning is faster and scales with bike types (trail bike leans faster than DH, for example). You should now have more control in fast switchbacks.

Improvements

- Multiplayer performance pass — remote bikes and riders are way cheaper to render, especially at a distance

- Lakeside race now includes the new double jump

- Final Fast Time Event standings shown during the grace period

- Tutorial steps no longer forced into a specific order

- Bunny hop tutorial made easier by adjusting the oval track and berm for the gap jump

Bug Fixes

- Fixed missing front disc brake and floating brake calipers on the new bike

- Fixed MP main menu button so it connects to the new server

- Fixed Bermingham gates not showing if you skipped the tutorial

- Tutorial signs now hide after completing Fledging

- Fixed total participants count on the mini-leaderboard

- Fixed some race gates on Paper Wings and Little Dipper
