Bike Trials Offroad 1 — Play Free Online

Bike Trials Offroad 1 is a motorbike racing game built around terrain rather than speed alone. You ride across bumpy dirt, ramps and gaps, and the real opponent is the ground: throttle too hard and the bike flips, ease off too much and you stall at the foot of a hill. It plays in the browser with nothing to install.

A run is short and easy to repeat. You point the bike at the next obstacle, work out how much power it needs, and try again if it goes wrong. That makes it a good fit for a few quick minutes between longer sessions.

On Doodle Jump the headline game is about timing and reading what is ahead of you. Bike Trials Offroad 1 asks for the same habit in a different form, planning each jump or climb before you commit to it.

How to play

Use the arrow keys or WASD to control the bike. In this kind of game the same keys usually handle both throttle and the lean of the bike, so one key speeds you up while another tilts you forward or back. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe on the screen instead. The page lists mouse input as well, but riding itself comes down to the movement keys.

The goal is to get the bike to the end of each course without crashing. Watch the bike's angle as much as its speed, because landing at a bad angle is what usually ends a run.

Tips

• Look a little way ahead of the front wheel so you can pick your speed before a slope or gap arrives.
• Small throttle taps are easier to control than holding the key down on rough ground.
• In the air, use the lean controls to line the wheels up with the landing slope.
• If a section keeps beating you, slow down and treat it as a puzzle. Smooth, steady riding usually beats rushing.
