MAVRIX Complete Controls Guide – Xbox, PlayStation & PC

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, Game Controls & Hotkeys, Misc. Guides / 26 Jul 2025

MAVRIX isn’t your typical extreme sports game: it’s the result of pro mountain biker Matt Jones thinking, “I’ll just make a game.” The outcome? A crazy, open-ended downhill simulator where every slope can crush you, each tree is a real threat, and your bike has more complex physics than a flight simulator. It’s daring, a bit unpolished, and it’ll wreck you if you try to ride it casually.

Here’s the thing, though — MAVRIX gives you total control. Not metaphorically. You get dual-stick steering, independent front and rear brakes, analog tricks, and air dynamics that demand skill. Forget to feather the brake? You’re airborne. Forget which stick leans you forward? Well, congrats, you’ve turned into a human projectile.

Before you take another digital plunge, here’s a straightforward guide to each standard control. Get a grip on your whip and scrub, know your dash from your death spiral, and you might just survive long enough to look awesome while you’re at it.
