Potential

"A gear with the mysterious power to draw out its rider's hidden abilities, raising all of their basic statistics."

- Game description in Sonic Free Riders



The Potential is a Board-type of Extreme Gear from Sonic Free Riders. It is notable for being the only Gear in the game for having above-average stats but despite of this the drawback of this gear is that any Air earned from grind, air-ride, power skills or tricks is reduced by 30%. For example: if the player performs a S-rank trick which normally gives 50 Air for most Gears, the player is rewarded only with 35 Air (0.7 x 50 = 35). Overall, this Gear shares the same features as the Skill Booster Gear from Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity.

Appearance
The Potential is mostly black with green lines running along the centre. The board looks fairly slim compared to the rest of the Extreme Gear.
