Riders Republic Season 18 has arrived, bringing along the new Pockett Bike X, a wild little ride built for ridiculous tricks and creative lines. Players can grab the Stuntmazer for 950 RC with the Acrobat outfit included or pick it up in the Ridge Full Send Pack for 2,300 RC. If you want to try it first, there’s a special dev-made LAB event available through the quick menu that lets everyone jump in, even without owning the bike. The Blue Steel version can be unlocked at Tier 20 through progression while a DC Shoes edition is set to hit the shop on April 15.

The in-game store also received an update with a cleaner look for the Toys and Careers section and the option to test toys before buying. Season progression has been tweaked too, stretching things out to 1,300 stars to fully complete it and unlock the Blue Steel variant, while making the early tiers quicker and the later ones more of a grind. LAB Events now require creators to add a thumbnail before publishing, and three community parks will once again be featured in the world with hints popping up on the Ridge Big Screen.
On the gameplay side, skateboard flip tricks feel more responsive, letting players control rotation speed based on how hard they press the trigger. The season also brings in partnerships with Authentic Brands Group, adding DC Shoes and Quiksilver gear to the lineup. Limited-time events are back as well, including Rabbid Hunter from April 1 to 8 and a Play Together photo contest on Discord from April 6 to 12, while Mass Races return on April 1, April 22, May 13 and June 3 with a new Victory Yama outfit up for grabs. Check out the full calendar at the official site.
