About

SBK-X: Superbike World Championship is a motorcycle racing game developed by Milestone s.r.l. and published by Black Bean Games in 2010. The game features three modes of gameplay: the arcade mode, the simulation mode and the multiplayer mode. Also for the first time in the series the game features the Superstock and Supersport championships. There are also the new career mode, composed of eight years, starting at the STK.

What players say

A hardcore superbike simulation with realistic, demanding handling where every corner is a fresh challenge and mastery is required before you can compete. Rewarding for dedicated sim fans, but so single-mindedly realistic that many found it harsh and short on fun.
