Mantis is the worst bike in trials history. | Forums

Nothing is likely going to change with it. It is more difficult IMO, but just do the best you can?

I was just now playing some Trials 2 SE on PC and that bike is terrible.

Despite any thoughts you have about the Mantis, has anyone in the thread been able to complete/set records on any tracks with the Mantis?

"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?

Yeah I was just referring to hd evo and fusion. It’s not that bad I guess when I posted this I was just frustrated with green belt.

Hard disagree. I think it made the game harder, and I like it because of that. Before the patch destroyed the replay function, Rising was my fav Trials game. Miles ahead of Trials Fusion and that boring Pit Viper noob bike. The Mantis brought back skill to Trials imo

i like the Mantis a lot now! (deja vu)

I like the mantis. Feels about the same as the viper apart from the front end digging in when breaking nearly the top of a ramp.
I look at it as a skill step that I've not learned to climb yet. Frustrating? Yes, very. Can I eventually learn how to deal with that and overcome the problem? Probably given enough time. And controllers.

As for the sticking/slipping tires, Sounds more like the Donkey. God that things a pig, but a loveable pig.

What does that even mean?

[UbiSc0ttie]

I've seen other threads that challenges the OP.
I've seen players state that they like the Mantis, despite how others in this thread feel. Out of curiosity, I wanted to know if anyone in the forums felt the same way.
