Sonic Riders
"Speed type enhanced. Accelerate+ Endurance+"

- Game description in Sonic Riders.

This Extreme Gear first appeared in Sonic Riders, as a Bike type Extreme Gear named "Cover-S". The design for the Cover-S mostly resembles that of a traditional motorcycle scooter, with a light blue, white and black color scheme. It can be bought at the shop for 500 rings. According to its profile, the Cover-S is enhanced especially for Speed Type characters, meaning that only the Speed Type characters in the game can use it.

Due to the Speed Types possessing greater speed that other characters in the game, but lacks better acceleration and greater endurance, the Cover-S gives good stats to boost its rider's acceleration and power in exchange for a smaller Air Tank.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
"Gear that offsets the speed type's weakness with improved endurance and acceleration."

This Extreme Gear made a reappearance in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, where it was given a complete redesign; it was given a slightly new name, "Cover S", and had been redesigned to be a Skate type Extreme Gear, allowing it to grind and making it more agile. It was also no longer restricted to only Speed Type characters, because the Speed Type mechanic was not used in the game.

As a Skate type Extreme Gear, the Cover S resembles greatly a pair of rollerblades. It is highly detailed with three shades of blue; it has regular blue metal accents and a sky blue and powder blue surface with white streaks. It can be bought at the shop for 2,000 rings.
