Body parts determine the sort of handling you’re going to get out of your ride, moreso than any other part.
Depending on your chosen body part, your ride will be a kart, an ATV, or a bike. Karts tend to be heavier, which makes them good for mixing it up in the pack. They’re also larger targets for items. By contrast, bikes are generally lighter, which makes them easier to push around, though that can be offset with a heavier weight class of driver, or the right kind of tires. ATVs are a hybrid of karts and bikes in terms of stats and performance.
What’s the Difference Between Karts, Bikes, and ATVs?
The real difference is in the style of drifts. Karts and ATVs drift similarly to each other. When drifting, a kart and an ATV tend to slide away from a turn to widen its arc. Drifting in these body types is also very controllable, letting players adjust themselves mid-drift.
Where things get interesting is with bikes. There are actually two sub-categories of bike: standard and sport. Standard bikes drift similarly to every other body type. Sport bikes more or less commit to the turn during a drift, sharply cutting in the direction of the turn. This makes the sport bikes very difficult to adjust mid-turn, and makes inexperience in this body type very costly when you start drifting into rough terrain or hazards you’d normally be able to skirt around by adjusting your drift with other body types. Sport bikes do tend to be very fast, which can offset the challenges of drifting with one.
