Hyperdrive

"This gear's dive limiter safety was removed yielding an overpowering but uncontrollable ride."

- Game description in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity.

The Hyperdrive (ハイパーダイブ) is a Board type Extreme Gear that appears in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. It increases the velocity of the Gravity Dive.

Description
According to its profile, the Hyperdrive's dive limiter safety component was removed from it for yet revealed reasons. As a result, the Hyperdrive has become an overpowering Extreme Gear, though at the apparent cost of it becoming virtually uncontrollable. It can be purchased as the shop for 2,400 rings.

Like most other Board types in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, the Hyperdrive has a distinct board-like shape, but is thicker and has smoother curves than the Board type Extreme Gears seen in Sonic Riders. The Hyperdrive is primarily colored red and white, in the shapes of highlights, and its front and rear are rather larger and spherical, though the front is bigger that the rear, while its midsection is quite thin comparison to the rest of the gear. It also have a black area stretching across its top surface, and has two grey circular foot panels on top of it.

Abilities and Traits
As a Board type Extreme Gear in Sonic Free Riders, the Hyperdrive is, like in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, well-balanced in its attributes, though with slightly less than average stats, and is suited for general riding.

When using the Hyperdrive during a race, this Extreme Gear can vastly increase the velocity of the speed boost received during a Gravity Dive, thus allowing the players to reach incredible speeds over the course of a race. As a drawback from the increase in the Gravity Dive's velocity, however, the Hyperdrive's GP gauge is drained quicker of its Gravity Points (GP) when performing the Gravity Dive, and it only gains 70% of GP earned from performing Tricks, accessing Wall-Routes and Grinding.

The Hyperdrive also possesses three Gear Parts that can increase the amount of Gravity Points it can store, and allow it to grind on Rails.
