Its all funny. In fact, ROFL funny. </sarcasm>

This is pretty much complete BS. People can literally now pay money to get a bike that is OP and sets times on the leaderboards? And the rest of us who don't wanna shell out actual cash are left in the dust? It doesn't have its own leaderboard? The KTM bikes were bad enough (in my opinion at least), but AT LEAST everyone had a fair shot at using them if they chose to.

What are we even doing anymore?

Seems as though you have to buy the bike, the midnight circuit just awarded me parts and golden tickets at top 2%.

I think I may be done. I wouldn't mind buying tracks I didn't win a week or two after an event but a year isn't reasonable and limited time availability is absurd.

At least they did us the favor of wiping out the leaderboard so there's nothing I feel the need to improve.

when will the bandito came to android?

the hacker always have that bike (i guess), why we should wait for the release?

i got from the MC first week 3x chain part, and for times 5x golden tickets.

and now i'm not able to play the MC.

holy moly

Quick Update.

Now all the iOS leaderboards are fixed, here are the correct statistics for the Bandito bike.

Total: 344 (5.7%)
iOS: 306 (5.1%)
Android: 38 (0.6%)

There was 1,318 new records set with the Bandito on 78 different tier 1 tracks in the 8 days since its release!

I made a leaderboard here that you can all keep track on - http://trials.bonxy.net/leaderboards/bandito

Hi riders, I’m addressing some of the concerns you guys have regarding the Bandito, and the Midnight Circuit.

You can’t earn the Bandito as a reward in the Midnight Circuit – there are no Bandito blueprints available as rewards in the Midnight Circuit right now.

Midnight Circuit on iOS allowed everyone to race on the Bandito for a whole week, for free!

The fact that you can essentially buy an advantage in the circuit makes the whole thing less enjoyable anyway.

Also, there is no extra advantage to any one with upgraded bikes in the Midnight Circuit, as everyone rides a bike with the same level of upgrades.

I think selling a new bike for real money is not a bad thing but the fact right now when leaderboard are messed-up the timing is not right, maybe for some who don't mind will definitely buy the bike. I on the other hand will wait for few days to see what's going on but honestly I'm also tempted to buy the bike.

@Ind-Rellik, there were some issues with iOS leaderboards last week, but they’ve been resolved now. Please confirm if everything works fine on your device now!

Yeah. Judging by the Midnight Circuit this bike is superior. Will ruin the leaderboards.

Not really, H-Refr. The Bandito is indeed slightly more powerful than most tier-I bikes, but your records would also depend on the tracks you’re racing on.
Some tracks might be easy to make new records on, but quite a few tracks could work better with other bikes, simply due to the way the tracks are designed! I’d say try it once!

Is that supposed to be fair?

The leaderboards are not fixed completely. Yes, most of the records came back, but I've annihilated a few of my WR's and the points didn't change. I moved up in ranking on the track but not in the LB.
There's also that new track...Headsomething bluff? I made a record before the LB's were "fixed" and I didn't show on the screen after they were "fixed". I had to make a new WR so I show up on the leaderboard....but again....My overall ranking never improved.

Unless there is a way to get the Bandito free at some point soon - then this game in now pay to win! Surely, this will just increase the numbers of people hacking the game!!!!

It's a sad situation we got here man. It's one thing to have to deal with glitches and bugs, but now they want us to pay for a game we have been playing already for 3 years. If we want to keep our leaderboard status and our good track times, we must shell out money.

Well, you already know I ain't gonna do that. I don't even use KTM bikes Hopefully we make our point known, but I fear there is no turning back now.
