- See how the best riders perform on Global Cross-Platform Leaderboards! Can you handle the competition?
- Tired of going back to the compound to change vehicles or modify your tune? Well now you don't have to! Get into the Garage, Locker, and more right in the middle of a Time Trial.
- Haybales now fade away right after getting hit by a Player and also turn off their collision, until they are re-spawned. This prevents haybales from wrecking someone's race and also prevents getting stuck on them.
- New Parts! Unique matte graphic kits are now available for all MX bikes!
- Sneak Peek! 2023 KTM and Husqvarna MX bikes are coming soon.
- Sneak Peek! 2023 Compound pack almost here! See if you have what it takes to be a factory rider... or a motocross legend.
