With the Bikers update, GTA 5 added new things like Clubhouse businesses, Motorcycle Clubs, new bikes, and a few new features including being able to kick while on a bike. Perfect for knocking down your friend off of their bike if you are cruising together.
To kick on a bike in GTA 5 (if you changed your keybinds at any point, make sure to check your settings):
- PlayStation: Hold X and tap L1 or R1 while you are riding.
- Xbox: Hold A and tap LB or RB while you are riding.
- PC: Hold X and click the left or right mouse button while you are riding.
You can either kick left or right depending on the button you press. You can’t aim your kick in any other way. But if you manage to land a kick on someone’s face, you are in for some fun time and angry friends.
It’s important to do this unarmed while you are moving. Having a weapon equipped will make your character use that weapon instead (regardless of melee vs ranged). And if you are stationary, your character will show a finger instead. But to show a finger you simply can use your aiming button while unarmed. No need for anything else.
Unfortunately, you can’t kick on a bike in GTA 5 Story Mode because the update features never get added to it. Trying to use the controls will only result in your character showing the finger while riding.
