How to unlock the Off Balance achievement in RAGE 2 - Definitive Guide
Once you have that perk you can go out and find the convoys by looking at your map. The ones on the lower part of the map are easier to take out if you want to go that far. If you feel you can take the damage go up to The Wilds. It seems like there are more convoys up there. Plus they seem to have a couple extra bikes as well.
Now once you have decided where you want to farm the bikes, all you need to do is get in the Phoenix and drive up to a bike and press the Y button and the LS towards the bike. You don't need to kill the biker or destroy the bike. Just simply knock him off. Every time you connect with the dodge he will wipe out and count towards the progress for the achievement. After you finish with one convoy's bikes head to another right away and repeat. You don't have to finish off the entire convoy. Eventually the bikes in the convoy you take out will come back after time. Once you get that 19th guy knocked off the achievement will pop right away.
Roll up next to a bike rider and press while pushing the left stick towards the bike and you will knock the rider off.
Do this 18 more times for the achievement.
The rider does not have to die for this achievement.
TIPS:
You can also Boost with to get close to the bikers.
Bikers can be found in convoys or randomly on the roads in the world.
You can dash with the Phoenix while pressing a direction ( or ) + . Catching up to bikes can simply be achieved by boosting to them by holding .
Now, the math here is that there are always 3 bikes with each convoy (unless one gets lost, which can happen), and that makes 7 different convoys you'll have to track down to get the whole count. Getting the skill that reveals convoys on the map (at the top left of the capture and control skill tree) can make getting to the convoys a breeze.

You will receive the Phoenix vehicle early in the game. To perform a dodge, you will need to press . To know a biker off its bike, approach from the side and press and use the left stick to point in the direction of the bike.
Once you have knocked 19 bikers off a bike, the trophy will unlock.
To use the Phoenix's Dodge, you will need to press and the direction (left/right) you want to go. Line up next to an enemy bike and hit them using the dodge to knock the enemy off. The best place to find these are with convoys. Every convoy will have 3 bikes at the back for easy pickings. On occasion you will also see a trio of bikes randomly driving around too although not very often.
You can unlock this while attempting "Bytesize Takedown" so see it's description for how to effectively grind these out. To dodge with the Phoenix you need to press and the direction you want to dodge in. With the specific convoy detailed in "Bytesize Takedown" there will always be either 3 or 4 motorbikes accompanying the convoy and they will always be at the back, so when you first reach the convoy make a point to stay close to the motorbikes, then when you're lined up next to one of them, dodge into them to knock them off. It usually takes only 1 dodge, though sometimes they seemed to survive the initial dodge and took 2 to knock off.
It's easy to do when you destroy the column, accompanied by 2-4 bikers.
