About
🏍️💙 MADE BY A FAN, INSPIRED BY A CLASSIC 💙🏍️
Motor Trial is an independent fan-made project created by a longtime fan of Gravity Defied. It is inspired by the spirit that made the classic so memorable — precision, balance, challenging tracks and the feeling of “one more try.”
This is not a simple remake. Motor Trial builds its own identity with original 2.5D physics, bike progression, online records, ghosts, achievements, multiple game modes, realistic collision options and a complete in-game track editor. It is a personal tribute reimagined in s&box, with its own mechanics, style and future. 🏁✨
Motor Trial is a physics-driven 2.5D motorcycle challenge where every climb, landing and wheelie depends on your control. Ride across 12 handcrafted tracks, beat your best times, chase leaderboard records and prove you can reach the finish without losing balance.
🏁 CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE
• Classic — standard checkpoints and checkpoint respawns.
• Full Run — no checkpoint saves; one fault sends you back to the start.
• Hard Dark — ride with checkpoints through darkness, guided by your bike's headlight.
Each mode has its own track progression and records.
👻 RECORDS, GHOSTS & PROGRESSION
Race against your personal ghost, compare checkpoint splits, climb the leaderboards and earn medals. Complete clean runs to gain XP and coins, unlock new bikes and customize your rider.
🛠️ CREATE & SHARE TRACKS
Use the in-game Level Editor to draw and reshape roads, place starts, checkpoints and finishes, test instantly, keep up to five drafts and publish finished tracks to the Community Workshop. Browse and ride tracks created by other players.
⚠️ Before publishing a track, you must accept the Valve Steam Workshop Agreement. Otherwise, your track may not appear in Community.

🛠️ The in-game Level Editor is available! Create, test, save, and publish your own tracks to the Community Workshop. The editor is still being improved, so occasional bugs may occur — please report any issues you find. ❤️
🧪 EXPERIMENTAL MODE
Build your own motorcycle handling preset. Tune gravity, engine power, top speed, braking, friction, air control, balance, wheelies and suspension, then save different setups in five slots. Experimental runs are a physics playground: leaderboard records, medals and progression rewards are paused while the mode is active.
