Speed, courage and adrenaline: live again the extreme challenge of the Superbike World Championship thanks to the fully renewed experience offered by SBK®X.

Whether you're keen on 100% realistic races or you simply want to gas your bike, SBK®X is the ideal game for you.
Along with the Simulation mode - completely customizable - you will find the brand new Arcade mode to start skidding, tailing, and wheeling like a real ace. Two games in one to enjoy the best of the Superbike championship!
In both Simulation and Arcade modes , SBK®X will allow you for the first time to race the 3 different classes: Superbike, Supersport and Superstock™1000. Dozens of riders and the best bikes in the world await you!

And what's more, you can create your own biker and improve your career through victories until becoming a real legend. And if you feel brave enough, you can face other players online: from a single race to the entire championship, you will contend victory with another 16 players!

SBK X, the official Superbike World Championship videogame, will feature something very special for the entire bike enthusiasts and racing gamers community. Something more besides the game features that already make SBK X a must have for every 2 wheels fan. Something amazing, exciting and…legendary.

How do you separate the men from the boys when everyone is leathered up and ready to get some nasty burns on their knees? Or, more accurately, how do you attract different types of gamers to a superbike simulator?

Well you could put Biffy Clyro on the soundtrack, stick a load of utterly famous superbike champions in it and add a boost button, and that should sort out the boys. For the men incredibly accurate riding physics, perfectly recorded engine noises, a shifting body weight system and a 'create a rider' option that allows you to even customise the livery on their helmets should suffice. Add on the ability to customise your bike and now you've got a superbike sim that will appeal to those that like racing games and also to those that REALLY like racing games, possibly a bit too much.

SBK X from Black Bean Games and Milestone manages to do all that in one glorious revving, burnout-ing package. The only thing it's missing is the ability to hit other riders in the face with a big chain, which is always the fantasy when it comes to bike games thanks to stupidly fond memories of Road Rash.

Silly digressions aside, SBK X is separated out into Arcade mode and Simulation mode. In Arcade mode everything is more forgiving and the usual on track guide is drawn along the racing line, indicating how fast you need to go on the straights and how slow you're supposed to be going round the deadly corners without falling off your bike or slamming into barriers made of tyres.

The Arcade mode is, as usual, the place where you learn that riding a bike is a heck of a lot more difficult than driving a car. The very fact your rider has to lean round corners before twitching the handlebars a little to get around the rest of it means that you really have to reprogram your brain to accommodate the difference in turning circles.

Still, once you get the hang of not falling off and scraping your rider along the track you can enter the story mode and try to graduate from the Superstock class right up to the SBK championship. The Superstocks are a good place to start as they aren't quite as demanding as the Superbikes and with each race you win you earn reputation points enabling you to climb the ranks.
