Morphology

outride = ride (transparent) = out + ride

Productive use of the prefix 'out-' meaning 'to do more or better than' plus the verb 'ride', so the meaning 'ride better/faster/further than' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Outride is formed from out- 'beyond' and ride 'to travel on a horse or bike'. That shows sense 2: to 'ride beyond' someone else, so to outride them is to go farther or faster and beat them in a race.
