    Mantis is the worst bike in trials history.

    Title says it all I’ve never been so frustrated playing trials than I am using this awful shadow of the viper and Phoenix.
    The physics in general just don’t work well with the way the weight is distributed. The back tire slips like it’s covered in oil and the front sticks when you don’t want it to and slips when you do. Suspension acts like it’s made of concrete.
    Please tell me I’m not alone fellow riders?

    I never liked the viper, the Mantis is my favorite bike by far. At least for my skill level anyway.

    Yea for ninjas this bike is really bad, for speedrunning I think they did a good job it's smooth and consistent there but for ninjas it's a bad experience

    "the worst bike in trials history" = aha, so you say the mantis is worse than the bike physics of the old flash games from 2000? this is just ridiculous nonsense!

    yes, the bike has problems on extreme and ninja obstacles and that really sucks... but on the other hand i would say for easy and medium speedrun tracks the bike is just great. no?

    I've seen OP complain about the bike on half of the threads here. We get it, you hate the bike, now do something helpful.

    Really loved the Viper, but after 110 hrs with the Mantis, im coming around. Still like the Helium better, but the Mantis aint that bad.

    Mantis is way better than the Viper in my opinion. Not as good as the Phoenix tho

    No I was basically referring hd evo fusion and rising. I’m also starting to wonder if it’s more the objects than the bike itself. I’m just frustrated with the game in general.
