The best mountain bike game for your phone depends on what you want from a downhill run. Shred! 2 and Shred! Remastered are skill-based downhill games, Mtb DownHill Bike: Multiplayer adds forest maps and racing against others, Descenders is a premium procedural downhill game, and Bicycle Extreme Rider 3D, our own game, is a city and stunt game with downhill-style MTB bikes in the garage. This guide compares them.
We make Bicycle Extreme Rider 3D, so it is on the list and we are biased. We say plainly what it is and what it is not. The other games are described from their store listings and, where noted, from press, as read on 31 October 2026.

Bicycle Extreme Rider 3D
Best for: a mix of bike types, an open city and offline play, with MTB bikes among them. Bicycle Extreme Rider 3D is a realistic 3D bicycle game with BMX, MTB, fixie, road, race and time trial bikes. The garage includes downhill-style mountain bikes. You ride an open city with real traffic, chain backflips, wheelies and big jumps, customize and upgrade bikes, play career missions and race real riders online. Career mode, stunts and the whole city work completely offline. Free to download with optional in-app purchases and ads, on Android and iOS. It is not a pure downhill trail game. If your priority is trail courses, start with Shred! or Mtb DownHill Bike. If you want variety and a city to explore, try Bicycle Extreme Rider 3D. See fixie, MTB and BMX in the game and our customization guide.
