The graphics of the game are generally considered outdated, resembling visuals from around 2005, but players appreciate the potential for improvement through extensive modding. While the base graphics may not impress, many users find that with the right mods, the game can achieve a visually appealing aesthetic. Overall, the focus on physics and gameplay immersion often outweighs the graphical shortcomings for dedicated players.
- “Though it needs modding for better graphics, bikes, liveries, and tracks, it's worth the time spent to mod it for having the ultimate bike sim.”
- “Don't mind the graphics; with proper mods like high-quality racing bikes, rider models, and detailed tracks, the game can look very aesthetic.”
- “I've been playing it since 2013 and it's by far the best bike sim I've ever played. The graphics didn't change in all these years, but the game still looks perfectly fine. The modding community is awesome and the developer is finally adding new tracks into the game.”
- “It requires mods as there's pretty much no base game content and the graphics look like I've gone back to 2005.”
- “Just a shame that the graphics engine is outdated and too much aliased (in VR).”
- “I suppose I wish that the graphics were a bit prettier.”

Users report that the optimization for VR performance, particularly on mod tracks, is lacking and can lead to a frustrating experience. Many hope for significant improvements in future updates, especially given that the current version is still in beta.
- “Knowing this is a beta, I was afraid it was going to be very buggy and annoying to install mods, and VR is probably insanely unoptimized.”
- “I hope this will be optimized by a large margin ASAP.”

The game, currently in beta, exhibits some stability issues, particularly with buggy physics at low speeds and visual glitches when adjusting settings like HDR, which can negatively impact performance. Despite these challenges, players still find enjoyment in the game, though they should be prepared for a steep learning curve.
- “Knowing this is a beta, I was afraid it was going to be very buggy. Installing mods and VR is probably insanely unoptimized.”
- “Only trouble is it suffers from the weird buggy physics at low speed, similar to MX Bikes (same developer and probably similar code/engine). It doesn't put me off too much and I still enjoy the game, but expect a steep learning curve as with MX Bikes.”
- “Visually, it looks very dated and the settings to improve it, like HDR, are a joke. Not only do they take away a lot of frames with minimal benefits, but they also introduce visual glitches.”
