Should You Choose Engine or Suspension?

Choose Engine for Faster Boost Speed

Choosing the Engine lets Laius craft a custom engine that focuses on maximizing the top-speed of your motorbike when using the boost. This is ideal for players that want some more speed when using the motorbike's boost.

Choose Suspension for Better Top-Speed

Selecting the Suspension option lets Laius craft a custom suspension part that prioritizes high-speed when riding the motorbike. This custom part sacrifices some handling for a faster top-speed and acceleration without having to use up your Nitro (or boost) gauge.
