Descent

About Descent

Descent is a downhill mountain-bike racing game focused on speed, precision and bike control. Ride through a hand-routed 6-kilometre mountain trail with a 400-metre vertical drop, navigating berms, rock gardens, root sections, jump lines and a final sprint to the finish.

The bike features detailed physics that simulate elements such as progressive suspension, per-wheel grip, weight transfer, pumping and air control. Every section of the trail requires you to read the terrain and choose when to accelerate, brake, lean and jump.

How to Play & Downhill Racing Strategy

Your objective is to descend the mountain as quickly as possible while maintaining control of the bike. Carry speed through berms, keep the wheels on the dirt where possible and use the terrain to build momentum. You can compete against the clock in Timed Runs or explore the hillside in Free Ride.

• Brake before difficult corners rather than braking heavily through them.


• Lean through berms while maintaining your speed.


• Use pumping on rollers to gain speed without constantly pedalling.


• Keep your wheels on the trail when approaching technical sections.


• Prepare for jumps by controlling your speed and bike position.


• Recover quickly after a crash and continue the run.

Master the Mountain Trail

Success in Descent is not only about reaching high speed. Reading the trail and understanding when to brake, lean and pump can help you maintain momentum through different terrain. Technical sections require controlled movements, while smoother sections give you opportunities to build speed.

Timed Runs and Free Ride

Timed Runs let you focus on improving your descent and chasing faster personal times. Free Ride provides a more relaxed way to explore the hillside and learn the trail without making every section about the clock.
