Change Bike Settings in Monster Energy Supercross 6
The easiest way to change bike settings to enter free mode. From there, enter the pause menu, then select “Bike Settings”. This will allow players to tune the bike.
Bike setup affects many different attributes of the bike. Here’s an overview of each component and what goes up and down for each attribute.
- front preload: Lowering it increases the agility and handling of the bike. Raising it increases the stability of the bike.
- rear preload: Lower values make the bike easier to control. Higher values make the bike more precise.
- front spring: Low makes the bike easier to control, while higher values make the bike more precise.
- rear spring: Low values make the bike easier to control, while high values make the bike more responsive.
- Fork Damper – Low Rate Compression: Low makes the bike unstable in fast sections, but better in turns. In height, it is more stable in fast passages.
- Fork Damper – High Rate Compression: Increases make the bike more stable over bumps and drops. Lowering it makes the bike smoother in turns.
- Fork Damper – Low Speed Rebound: The lower it is, the better it adapts to the terrain. With high values, the bike is more stable on rough sections, but a greater tendency to bottom out.
- Fork Damper – High Rebound Rate: By lowering it, the fork will absorb bumps well, but will make the front end more responsive. High values will improve responsiveness, but soaking up bumps won’t be easy.
- Rear Swingarm Shock – Low Rate Compression: Lowering it gives riders more grip in the corners. The increases will make the bike more precise and responsive in turns.
- Rear Swingarm Shock – High Rate Compression: Increases make the bike more stable over bumps and drops. Lowering makes it smoother in the corners.
- Rear sway damper – Low rebound rate: Lowering it makes the bike better when it comes to rough terrain. High values make the bike more stable on rough sections.
- Rear Swingarm Shock – High Rate Compression: Lowering it gives more thrust on jumps. Higher values make the bike more stable, at the expense of thrust in jumps.
- gear ratio 1-5: Lowering it gives you more acceleration, while raising it gives you higher top speed.
- final proportion: Determines the maximum speed of the bicycle. It can be increased for faster tracks or decreased for slower, more technical tracks.
- brake response: The modularity allows good control of the bike. Aggressive means getting off the throttle deeper and faster, which can lead to wheel lockup and loss of grip.
- gas mapping: Modular allows for a smooth ride. Aggressive makes acceleration more sudden, but incorrect mapping can lead to unexpected skids.
- distance between axes: The shorter the bike, the more responsive it is. The longer it is, the more stability there is but less responsiveness and agility in turns.
Be sure to consider the effect of up and down motions on bike performance.
