Much like the [[Daemon]] and [[Wayfarer]], the Angel is significantly more maneuverable with nimble cornering and very responsive brakes, despite weighing the same as most other choppers in the game (300 kg). However, the bike has the worst acceleration in the chopper class (alongside the Wayfarer, at 0 to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds), and has a top speed that is otherwise similar to its chopper counterparts (216 km/h).

Both variants feature average performance for a motorcycle, but minor performance differences may be noted between the two variants, as the regular Angel features more sensitive steering, and a higher top speed and rate of acceleration than the gang variant. However, given the limitations of riding a high speed vehicle in a [[Top-Down Perspective|top-down perspective]], as well as manner in which the camera reacts to slight cornering, the gang variant may also be interpreted as being more suitable for practical use in the game.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Angel used in the mission "[[Alloy Wheels of Steel]]" for [[Mitch Baker]] has handling and acceleration superior to a normal Angel, and it retains these features after the mission is complete; however, if the player saves it in a garage, it will lose its abilities.
*The Angel used by NPCs in the mission "[[Alloy Wheels of Steel]]" for [[Mitch Baker]] has handling and acceleration superior to a normal Angel, and it retains these features after the mission is complete; however, if the player saves it in a garage, it will lose its abilities.
*Mitch Baker's [[Angel]] is superior to other Angels found in the game as it has better handling and acceleration as well as a higher top speed. The player can obtain the motorcycle by driving it to [[Hyman Condo]] and destroying the Angel while inside the garage, although this results in the failure of the mission.
*In the PSP version of GTA Chinatown Wars, the handlebars of the Angel are trimmed down into more conventional ones, and the panniers are removed, adding to the ' custom cruiser' appearance. The gang variant of the Angel is also absent.
