01Gameplay
Players must choose one of three different types of motorcycles, with two more available through cheat codes. The player races through courses under a strict time limit in a similar manner to Ridge Racer, which can be extended through checkpoints until the player reaches the finish line.
02Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Cyber Cycles on their August 1, 1995 issue as being the fourth most-successful dedicated arcade game of the month. Next Generation reviewed the arcade version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "there's no mediocrity here. Namco's newest entry into the cycling arena [...] is an improvement through and through to the degree that it's really no longer in the same league."
