All there is to know about Vortex in GTA Online - Price, performance, and more

The Pegassi Vortex is primarily inspired by the real-life Ducati 1199 Panigale Streetfighter motorcycle, as evident by its front forks and fender. It’s designed as a streetfighter-style bike and features distinctive aerodynamics.

Its front mudguard is quite similar to the one found on Hakuchou, while its Sports Bike dial set is taken from the Defiler. The vehicle’s upper area also features a shield-shaped fairing that consists of two headlamps in a rectangular shape. Its other main features are:

• Medium-sized fuel tank
• Radiator on the front
• Clutch cover on the right
• Two short exhaust tubes
• Two vertical tail lamps
• Foot Pegs for the rider

The motorcycle comes with one primary color applied to the main components and a secondary color applied to the rear frames, front forks, and foot pegs.

On the performance side, the bike is powered by a pushrod V-Twin engine coupled with a four-speed gearbox.

The motorcycle is usually available for purchase for $356,000 from Southern San Andreas Super Autos.

Is Vortex worth owning in GTA Online in 2022?

The Pegassi Vortex is indeed one of the fastest bikes in GTA Online, competing directly with the likes of Akuma and Defiler. It boasts admirable performance in terms of its acceleration and top speed.

Furthermore, the Vortex can be customized with a lot of different options, allowing players to personalize the motorcycle according to their preferences. It's worth purchasing as it is currently on a 50% discount, allowing players to get it for as low as $178,000 and save a ton of money.
