wheelies

[Lightsped]

Rumor has it that most of the bikes in TT can't be wheelied. But I have seen photos of some wheelies. How are some bikes able to do wheelies and other bikes can't? In real life all of these bikes (except the scooters) should be able to get the front tire off the ground....

How are wheelies done in TT?

 

[Gen.]

Pull the stick back at low - medium speed. That's all really.

 

[spooony]

Lean back (hold down on the left analog stick) while accelerating.

Edit: 1 min slow

So all the bikes can do wheelies or just a few bikes?

Ok, it’s important to note that many bikes in TT would struggle to wheelie (under power) in real life. With that being said, PD has failed to develop the physics engine/wheelie selection algorithm to an acceptable level for TT’s retail release.

Some notable cockups:
No wheelies for the powerful sporty naked bikes!
-Triumph Speed Triple
-Kawasaki Z1000
-MV Agusta Brutale 910
(The above bikes are some of the easiest machines to mono in existence.)

-The CBR1000RR and the CBR 954 can’t wheelie on tarmac, though they will do it easily on grass! CBR600RR wheelies in first three gears.
-The Hayabusa won’t wheelie.
-The Motards can’t wheelie, and hence they’re pretty much useless.

I’ve been keeping a list of the wheelie machines, and I’ll upload it at a later point.

I noticed it too. Some can't and some can. Bit of a shame really. But it does not make the game less fun.

After further research, it seems that some of the grounded bikes are more able to wheelie when equipped with the ‘limited supply parts’ tyre. Further, if you are having trouble lofting the front, do a stoppie then follow with the wheelie. The 1000RR can now get it up on the bitumen…

So, you are telling me that scooters can't wheelie? I live in scootersland, the Netherlands, everyone that turns 16 goes to the store and buys a scooter..

these guys obviously don't ride.haha
they're probably in the wrong gear and out of the power band.
i hope this game shows people what it takes to ride hard. even tho this isn't real...it gives you an idea. i used to drive hard on street and track(350Z).
after i got an R1 and learned how to ride hard and fast thru corners...i don't see racing cars in the same light. it's all about two wheels!! nothing beats dragging your knee thru a corner with the tarmac inches from your body.

I think you can't wheelie any bike in Challenge Mode.

 

[mototr3]

??? suddenly my r1 won´t wheelie und stoppie any more ? does anybody know the reason ?

 

[livemusic]

In a regular race? Or is it Challenge mode or a license test maybe?

 

[mototr3]

in tourist trophy mode/ time run .. suddenly my r1 wont do it :S

 

[the Interceptor]

And did you change anything in the options?

 

[mototr3]

so much chinese that i cant understand i go gonna check all my settings

 

[mototr3]

i got it ! obviously if you turn on options/racing/harder rules "on" you won´t be able to do wheelies and stoppies !

 

[Lightsped]

i got it ! obviously if you turn on options/racing/harder rules "on" you won´t be able to do wheelies and stoppies !

So if that setting is turned "off" ANY bike will wheelie?

 

[keeno_uk]

No most bikes still won't wheelie.

Well I think thats legit, because wheeling'd be sort of cheating...assuming that when wheeling you're gathering speed much faster and therefore being able to beat the AI much easily.

Something I don't understand though, is why bikes are hard to control while off Challenge mode? Like when playing Arcade / Free Run / Race Event modes Its suddenly becomes much harder, too much braking (using the analog stick) and your back wheel lifts off & lose control and crash. Any cheering up on that?

 

[livemusic]

Are you playing with Professional Mode on? Maybe in Challenge Mode the TCS is always on too, so it's easier to play. But I don't find Challenge Mode any easier than the other game modes.

I think you might be right, tho the damn chinese makes it hard to get around err.

 

[j8mie]

I'm glad to hear that you can wheelie the bikes in TT............but IMO this thread is useless without pictures ; )

There's a translated screen's thread in this same forum, check it out.
