More about this game
You start in last place in a 16-rider, 1.2-kilometer race along a coastal road. The goal is to finish first by carefully managing your speed and energy. Tucking in behind other riders allows you to draft, which charges your sprint meter. As the race progresses, you must dodge speed-sapping potholes and grab water bottles for instant energy. The run ends when you cross the finish line, recording your final placement and time.
Tips
- Stay directly behind a rider to draft; you need to be within 6 meters to start charging energy.
- Don't get too close to the rider ahead, or you will bump their wheel, losing speed and energy.
- Save your sprint for the final stretch; it consumes 33.3 energy and lasts for 2.6 seconds.
Questions
How do I get more energy?
You gain energy by drafting behind other riders. You can also pick up water bottles on the road, which instantly restore 25 energy.
Why did I suddenly slow down?
If you hit a pothole, you lose speed and 8 energy. You will also slow down if you bump into the rider directly in front of you.
When can I use my sprint?
You can activate your sprint once your energy meter reaches at least 33. The sprint button will light up when it is ready to use.
