GTA Online: Bikers

"Bikers, the next big addition to GTA Online, brings the eagerly-anticipated ability to form and lead your very own Motorcycle Club for up to 8 players. Bikers will introduce new roles to play from fresh Prospects to club Presidents with a massive slate of new competitive and co-op gameplay, along with a range of new motorcycles, properties that include MC Clubhouses with a special custom Biker mechanic, and venues for seedy business ventures."

GTA Online: Bikers is a content update for Grand Theft Auto Online, released on October 4th, 2016.

Description
"Beyond a range of opportunities to climb the ranks within a gang and build lucrative businesses as a formidable MC, Bikers also includes a selection of appropriately-themed new modes for bikers of all kinds, along with new weapons, styles, tattoos and features to make this a huge addition to the world of GTA Online"

- Rockstar Newswire description.

This update, as the name suggests, introduces new motorcycles and allows the player the ability to run their own Motorcycle Club, in a similar form to The Lost MC in The Lost and Damned. Players can also purchase new Business properties to sell product and make a profit, similar to the Special Cargo Network from Further Adventures in Finance and Felony. Many new vehicles have been added, including several new chopper-style motorcycles and sports bikes. Various new weapons can be bought from Ammu-Nation, from compact guns to melee weapons. Also, hundreds of new clothing items are available, varying from half masks, biker helmets, and leather jackets.

Vehicles

 * The update includes 21 new vehicles:

Weapons
Seven new weapons have been introduced, including assorted melee weapons.

Character Customization

 * Over 250 biker-themed clothing and accessories, including 50 biker helmets and 10 masks.
 * Over 100 new tattoos.
 * 6 new punk-themed hair styles.

Features

 * Players can purchase a clubhouse, which also serves as an additional property, though only bikes can be stored there.
 * Malc, a character returning from the The Lost and Damned, is introduced in-person after the player has purchased a Clubhouse for the first time, and is added to contacts via the player's phone.
 * The Adversary Mode, Slipstream, was added to GTA Online.
 * Players are able to kick while riding motorcycles when unarmed, use blunt melee weapons, and swipe with available ranged weapons.

Other

 * Some vehicles with heavily exposed engine components, particularly those recently added, now have a rotating timing belt around the gears for the cams, crank, water pump, timing belt adjusters and idlers (on cars), or a rotating primary drive belt around the crank and gearbox pulley (on bikes). This feature was first seen on the crank pulley on the BF Injection in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
 * The Bagger is now available at Southern San Andreas Super Autos, where it can be purchased for $16,000.
 * Players are now able to sell free vehicles, but they will not receive any money the vehicle itself, as they will be given 50% of the value of any customization that is applied. This applies to any vehicle bought prior to a major bug patch that fixed players being able to purchase vehicles with hacked money, albeit these vehicles also only sell for as much as 50% of the value of any modifications applied. This only applies to the enhanced version of the game.
 * New idle positions were added when riding on any motorcycle.
