Well you can ride on dirt/sand (you need to edit tyres physics) but I'm pretty shure MXB will bring us a better support for dirt surfaces and jumps. ATM, jumps is probably the biggest problem to not bring correct supermoto physics to GPB.

So there a lot of problems for GPB :
- not correct rider animations (we don't know how to create a new one yet)
- Jumps are very difficult to manage
- Grass/Dirt/Sand support will be better on MXB

But PiBoSo is right on some things about GPB : Supermoto races are more similar to track races than MX races (starting grid, etc).

Thats why we are not decided yet 

Interesting stuff, I know nothing about the technical side of making a sim, but I can see there's a lot more to take into consideration than my simple take on it. Jumps of course is a big part of supermoto, and again there's huge similarities with mx jumping. But yeah, the grid and some of the tarmac/asphalt aspects of supermoto are similar to GP. It blurs the lines between road and off-road, so I can see how it poses problems. 

But can you ride on dirt with it, that's actually the most exciting part of supermoto IMO.

Agreed, it's not a real supermoto track if there's no dirt section, hopefully the developers will take that into consideration.

Keep up the great work btw devs, already enjoying GP Bikes full game and looking forward to a beta of MX Bikes! 

I'm no expert, and I'm sure whatever decisions are made are for good reasons, but most supermoto racers wear the same gear (helmets, boots, goggles, neck braces, etc) and ride in a similar manner to MX riders - more upright/foot out, rather than leaning/knee down, backing it in to corners rather than leaning into them, etc. so I just assumed that would be easier to do in an MX sim rather than a GP sim.

Glad to hear it's already being tested though, the KTM looks awesome! 

Supermoto bikes/tracks would be an awesome addition to MX Bikes. They are after all MX bikes with road rims/front ends and supermoto tracks have dirt sections, so they would be more at home in MX Bikes than GP Bikes imho.
