Front is disk as well, look at it with your phone/sniper from the opposite side of the shroud. 

 

It's not the 2 stroke 500cc Sanchez Retro I've been begging for but it's something. Actually, due to the KLR influence and beveled front fender option, I can make this thing look very close to my IRL KDX. The only stuff that throws off the look is the 4 stroke pipe, ugly seat and ugly metal piping. Love the way it rides, fast for a dirt bike, excellent wheelie control which is actually kinda silly for an adventure bike.. anyways, it's a new motorcycle and that's a start. Now please, give us a brap worthy 2 stroker R*.. record a new engine note for it. If VI is set in the 80s, they probably already have a 2 stroke engine note.

A two stroke bike in GTA would be awesome,though along with the proper sound,they should also add the iconic smoke:

How stable is this thing? Can I fall from a height or do a massive jump and land hard without flying off the thing or shattering my spine?

In general, I'd say about average, and worse than the Bati.

 

I took a few videos in single player; the char has godmode but apart from that it should be the same in online.

 

This is about the max height of a fall it can survive: https://imgur.com/A7lAsPl (Bati can do better)

 

But in some circumstances the Manchez Scout can survive far worse:

I think it's related to the wheelie... when doing a wheelie it's super stable.

The discs ride up and down on the tire based on the suspension. The front disc also doesn't turn with the wheel making it clip during low speed turns. It's something they hopefully fix in a future patch.

Seeing as they never fixed Wolfsbane's suspension vibrating up and down when turning at high speed,I doubt they'll fix this either

Huge missed opportunity here on the livery front, wish we had some cheesy late 80's/early 90's airbrush graphics for this thing instead of just the stock Gunrunning camo they give everything.

[SkupperNog]

Those brake calipers are a huge turnoff. Probably just going to be a garage queen for a while.

I guess it is a two stroke,but that's a scooter,I meant a proper two stroke motorcycle,like these:

Spoiler

With an accurate buzzing sound and a cloud of smoke behind it,something like that would really stand out among other bikes in GTA.

Spoiler

I wonder if anyone will notice. Or even remember this one.

That's an 'Ooof'. 

But at least the Manchez Scout is useable in Offroad races as well as Motorcycle ones. Unlike certain Enduros we could mention...

Always like collecting the Dirt bikes in GTA..... ever since the Sanchez. 

 

intro video from this weeks tunable thursday dripfeed on  Cayo Perico update 

 

 

[LL Cool L]

faaaaaam I love this bike...it actually wheelies better than the manchez. so fun to drive, was driving around it all day

 

anyone who loves to wheelie, its so satisfying, you can brake and powerslide and still keep the wheelie going, plus the front wheel lifts so easy at full speed, great for stunts.

 

this handling should be the standard for all dirtbikes in the game

 

hope for more, pit bikes maybe that you can do a bunny hop on

[Black-Dragon96]

Well I like it. It drives ok, it can hold wheelies, it can turn while doing a wheelie.

But...

The bugged brake disks moving up and down independently from frame and wheel (same with the disk that connects the chain to the wheel) makes me not want to drive it.

I'm not sure if I will keep it for long.

[Fish_head]

This thing isn’t particularly expensive (by today’s prices) but it’s 28x the price of a sanchez. And it’s upgrades are all top cost too.

 

 

it’s not bad, pops a nice wheelie, has a load of bolt on bits (though I’d be even happier if more bits could be removed)

 

it’s just not where we should be with bike design and performance after they have had 7 years to perfect things.

 

 

[Jasperathome]

after 7 years we finally got a bike that can turn when wheelieing

The Manchez can as well, just not as aggressively. Also, if you leave the spoiler stat off (rear racks on Scout, front light cover on Essky) they can power slide at speed. There are a few neat tricks like that which are possible on the BF400, Essky, and Manchez Scout.

 

I absolutely love this bike. Performs well, looks pretty good, wide selection of mods, can drive up sheer cliffs, and to top it of I can make it look pretty close to my KDX. Just wish the metal piping was optional. I hope we get another dirt bike soon and it’s a 500cc 2 stroke, or at least a 250. As long as it has a new, proper 2 stroke engine sound I’d be in heaven..

[LL Cool L]

still riding this thing, i literally wheelie everywhere lool

 

anyone on ps4 that likes to go off road dirtbiking???

 

 

[Scottiedog123]

 

 

Yeah.. ok..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok.. so thinking I'm Dougie Lampkin, I get carried away and decide to ride up the big rusty one by the beach...

 

Bugger!

I really hope they fix the disc brakes and remove the front cover. (That's supposed to look like a drum brake but inside is just another disc brake.)

 

Other motorcycles don't have this problem!

Still the Manchez Scout is extremely fun to drive.

Why do people keep saying this about the brake shroud? Front discs have shrouds too guys, going back like 25 years if not longer. The bike itself is based on a bike with disk brakes (KLR)..

 

Obviously I do hope they fix the disk problem, but that stuff is hit or miss. If it's something on a car like the Zentorno they'll fix it, on a sub 300k bike? I'm not holding my breath. I hope they do though.

You mean a brake disc cover? It doesn't really look like one... Were they this big 25 years ago?

Yes, and still can be depending. Some come stock as a feature and some are aftermarket. I had a surprisingly hard time finding good pics, this is on a motocross bike but they're even more common on enduro bikes like the Scout.

My brother and I have the last generation of the original Africa Twin line, where they just kept the covers on the forks, and this was for 96 onwards to 03 line:

And on that note, R* screwed up by not including these rad graphics

[touchedmysoul09]

Aside from the fact that I wish there were better, more unique liveries beyond the typical military-esque ones we have for a lot of vehicles, I actually was pleasantly surprised with this bike. I wasn’t expecting much but it’s fun as hell to ride around and wheelie with.

This bike is INSANELY good for stoppies, I love it!
