According to Milestone, the bike control in MES 5 is improved, allowing for more precision when navigating the bumpy dirt tracks.

The steering, suspension, and drift management are also more refined. Thanks to these improvements, you won't fall off your bike when opening the throttle at the end of a drift.

Rider Shape System

While the racing action shown in the gameplay trailer will look familiar to anyone who played the last four games, MES 5 introduces a new Ride Shape System. Falling off your bike now has consequences, leading to rider injuries that affect performance.

The Rider Shape System monitors eight areas of your rider’s body that can be injured. Dislocating a shoulder or elbow, for example, will affect your rider’s ability to control the bike.
