The PaleRider is a scrapped vehicle from Twisted Metal (2012). It was one of the vehicles planned to be released as a DLC, before it was canceled.

Design

PaleRider was a motorcycle according to Shylow Barker, who also designed the canceled DLC models of Twister, Crazy 8, and Yellow Jacket. However, screenshots of the PaleRider model were never released. The concept art of the bikes were from the period of time when the game was more grounded in reality and had more gangs planned, with each gang having their own version of the bike.

Trivia

• It can be assumed that PaleRider may have been a sports bike type of motorcycle or a dirt bike to try and separate itself from Reaper.
• Some of the concepts of PaleRider seems strikingly similar to the bike used for the billboard ads in Dollface's storyline.
• The name PaleRider may be a reference to the entity Death; more specifically, his interpretation in the Bible. There, Death is depicted as the fourth and final Horseman of the Apocalypse, a harbinger of judgement who rode on a pale horse. This could further the idea that PaleRider may have been the original concept for Reaper, since Mr. Grimm and several of his incarnations are supposed to be the Grim Reaper, who is also known as Death. Horse is also sometimes used a term to describe motorcycles.
