Pegassi Vortex Appreciation Thread


SickBoy

Recommended Posts

"The Vortex has its feet planted firmly in the café racer tradition, its head stuck firmly up the ass of contemporary streetfighter chic, and the less said about what it's doing with its hands the better. It's a synthesis that's going to change the world and your underwear forever."

 

―Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.

 

Price: $356'000

 

Not my favourite bike from the update (can't tell what is because it's so broken) but still enjoying it. Definitely loving the slicks as stock.

Decent speed and handling, seems to be faster than an Akuma for comparison, It's certainly taken over my top sports bike slot simply on looks alone. The stock wheels can be painted, but only the outer rim like in the picture, and the engine can have an interesting touch, but only with bright colours. Overall, it's a good bike, worth investing in. Let's see what you made of yours...

I just can't handle the front panel, it looks like some kind of knight shield lol can't cope with it

 

It can be changed, there are several variants, including a number plate with the number 11 on it, in case you wanted something a little closer to the Cliffhanger or Gargoyle.

Wow, I did not know that!

 

So I went and bought it, actually a unique looking bike with good performance. I was extremely wrong about the Vortex.

Will the front wheel change colour too?

Has anyone raced it yet? How does it compare to the Akuma?

 

This one is faster than Akuma and also looks better and has a good customization.

I'm loving this variant. What colors are you using? Are they matte black and red?

 

It's actually matte light gray and matte red. Looked so good on the Hakuchou Drag that it's become my default paint job for sports bikes:

I'm having problems getting to pull a wheelie. Anyone else?

Yes it's one of those bikes that can't wheelie at speed unfortunately. It can briefly do one from a standing start but get some speed up on a straight flat road and that front wheel is 100% planted. It's a good handling bike but it's not a stunter.

Same feels I got when I saw the first night time picture.

 

Q: Are the headlights(projected) the same colour?

No, when you put that headlight option on, you lose your headlights all together.

[WARNING]
This article has strict critics and opinions some may find stupid.
Get over yourself
[You have been warned]
Pros: Fast, good looking, unique customization, glowing parts, liveries.
Cons: Making wheelies can be a lill tricky.
Personal pros: A fast and good looking bike with unique liveries and a sweet ton of custom options. This bike may be expensive but worth every penny.
Personal cons: There are only few exhaust options, and making wheelies is a lill hard in my experience.
Personal opinion: Rockstar made us wait for this bike for a while now. And the outcome is what the promised and they delivered.
The Vortex is a well balanced bike with a amazing acceleration and top speed. and believe it or not, faster than the Akuma.
Total score: 10/10

Not so bad. I usually shut headlights off when I can remember to.

Just put a custom rear wheel, change the colour, put the stock wheel back on.

Any way to do this without the currently broken ifruit???

I'm pretty sure you can just do that regularly in Los Santos Customs.
