American Big Twins and new physics arrive in TrackDayR

The unique sight of Bagger racing has now been added to Early Access motorcycle simulator TrackDayR.

The Race Bagger Big Twins bike is a sight to behold. Inspired by the King of the Baggers race in the USA, this is a big, luxurious cruising motorcycle with saddlebags (hence the name) that is then turned into a weird Frankenstein of a race bike.

With TrackDayR the hardest or hardcore biking simulators, we expect this new addition – which is free to all current owners – to be a serious challenge. You’ll have to muscle around 190 Nm/140 lb-ft of torque.

The new ride isn’t all that’s fresh in the 1.0.81.25 build, as a new tyre model has been added – no mean feat.

There are also changes to the way wobble steering is balanced, how the suspension transfers weight and how the surface reacts. With a heavy revision to the physics, the handling will now feel significantly different.

As a result, the leaderboards have been wiped for the PC-only title.

We’ve included the full changelog below. Let us know if you’re tempted at trying a motorcycle simulator in the comments below.
