LeanGP is a simply designed but astonishingly high-tech virtual reality gaming experience that allows the player to take control of a motorcycle simulator to enjoy extremely realistic racing experiences.

This VR motorcycle simulator comes with its own frame, tank and handlebar and can be hooked up to a gaming console via USB. Once the player is set up, they can go about experiencing natural throttle and brake feedback, and a thrilling tilting system that does a great job mimicking the way motorbikes tackle corners.

The fact of the matter is that the current virtual reality gaming environment is far more friendly to lovers of four-wheeled vehicles, seeing as how there are many games and controller options out there for [VR car games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sim-racing). However, the options for VR motorbike games are highly limited and too expensive for most people, creating a gap in the market that LeanGP is positioned to fill.
