Default Gear

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Standard Gear of many looks

While all characters in Sonic Riders has a unique version of this gear available to them, they all perform the same in terms of statistics and gameplay.

Colloquially called “Default gear” or “Default” by the community at large, what it lacks in special mechanics, it gains in pure flexibility in races with two of it’s main properties.

Grinder

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The dual type skate gear

Style on your opponents with Grinder! Specialize in drifting and rail grinding to gain the speed type in addition to your character’s base type. Picking Grinder on a character who is already speed type will gain extra speed from speed type rails.

Gear specific details	Special flags
Fuel type	Air
Special flags
Mechanics	Grants speed type, Monotype-Exclusive: +8.5% Speed from Speed Shortcuts
Frames to charge drift dash	50
Usage Restriction	Only typed characters can use this

Grinder is suited for drifting, boasting an increased drift speed, cap, and charge, but lower top speed and boost potential. Combine this with the natural high speeds coming off of grind rails to leverage breakneck burst speed and overwhelm your other racers.
