The Lycan's design is a combination of a classic motorcycles profile, crossed with modern custom design cues. While similar in design to the [[Freeway]], [[Nightblade]] and [[Wolfsbane]], the Lycan's design is distinguishable by its unique rim design which incorporates spikes along the inner rim, unconventionally curving vehicle parts, and a generally lower profile than classic motorcycles. The bike's design is comparable to an [[wp:Orange County Choppers|Orange County Choppers]] Pro Street, and is implied by its badging to be built by [[Liberty Chop Shop]]. | The Lycan's design is a combination of a classic motorcycles profile, crossed with modern custom design cues.

Unlike most choppers, which feature a longer [[wp:Bicycle and motorcycle geometry|rake]] that extends their wheel base significantly, the Lycan's rake, while slightly extended, is short enough, allowing the bike to corner easier albeit poorer still (requiring the player not apply the throttle when cornering at higher speeds). The bike's braking and grip are average. | ||
