About the game

Explore, race, and freeride in Cranked and experience the raw thrill of downhill mountain biking. It’s fast, responsive, and grounded -- we're chasing what it really feels like to ride. Easy to pick up, impossible to put down, and packed with virtually endless skill depth.

Original Steam description

Cranked is the dream project of a small team of riders and developers, including members of the original crew behind Mad Skills Motocross and Mad Skills BMX. It’s a downhill mountain bike game built to capture what it really feels like to ride—the speed, the flow, and the satisfaction of control—paired with the obsessive pursuit of the perfect run.

What Makes Cranked Different

Fun-First Design

Every choice is guided by a single question: does it make the game more fun? We're going back to old-school game design where our priority is the player experience. No microtransactions. No exploitative hooks. Just pure MTB fun. 

Responsive Control

The “free-whip” system gives you full command of bike handling and style, with no canned animations getting in the way. Cranked has a heavy focus on technical riding, line choice, and capturing the essence of real-world trails. 

Global Racing Competition

Push yourself against players worldwide on constantly updated leaderboards, with instant restarts that fuel mastery and the hunt for that perfect run.

Open-Mountain Freedom

Explore a vast landscape of trails, hidden paths, shortcuts, and easter eggs at your own pace.

Modding as a Pillar

Modding isn’t an extra feature; it’s a non-negotiable pillar of Cranked’s design.
