12 itemsAbout the Game
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? No microtransactions, no exploitative hooks—just a focus on delivering awesome fun and real value.
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.
