The Dirtbike is a vehicle in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
It is one of the fastest vehicles in the game and is valuable in helping the player quickly traverse the outdoors of Fortune City. The player can find two dirtbikes: a red one positioned in front of the Fortune City Arena, available upon initiating Meet the Contestants, and a green variant located in the Combo Bay on the north end of the Silver Strip, unlocked after defeating Leon Bell.
The dirtbike has 250 hitpoints that are depleted upon colliding with zombies or crashing. The player can modify the bike by combining it with various weapons to create a variety of combo bikes or by using spray paint to alter its appearance. Its durability can be increased with the Bikes magazine.
