This article is about a Rider Machine in Kamen Rider V3. |
Hurricane (ハリケーン, Harikēn) is Kamen Rider V3's dirt bike which was used in his rider form. It was developed by the Double Riders for V3 using data from the New Cyclone as a template for the construction of the vehicle.
It can execute the Hurricane Dash (ハリケーンダッシュ, Harikēn Dasshu) and the Hurricane Last Dash (ハリケーンラストダッシュ, Harikēn Rasuto Dasshu) in mid-air. This motorcycle can also fly over long distances.
Design[]
The Hurricane comes with the following components and features:
- Infrared Tracking Device: A built in monitoring system that stores the data and then can track the shape, temperature, speed and distance of a heat source.
- Radar Lamp: A special lamp that emits radar waves, as well as infrared and ultraviolet light.
- Wings: Two wings, one on each side of the steering column, that can extend up to two levels to generate lift. Much like its New Cyclone template, the wings can also be utilized as cutter blades to slice enemies or objects apart at ramming speed.
- Driving Computer: An onboard computer that has auto-gyroscopes for altitude control when in flight. The computer can also receive instructions from V3 to bring the Hurricane to him upon his call from anywhere by locking on V3’s brainwaves. If Hurricane is within a 2 km radius, V3 can move the motorcycle by itself via a remote control.
- Air Intake: Intake vents above the nuclear reactor that flows air into the jets and power systems.
- Parachute: A drag triple parachute stowed in the rear, designed for slowing down at high speeds or for emergency stops when used in tandem with the Reverse Injection Nozzle.
- Vertical Tail Wing: A stabilizer for high velocity travel that also acts as a rudder when the Hurricane is flying.
- Jet Nozzle: The propulsion system for air and undersea travel, utilizing an air jet in flight and propulsion gas for moving beneath the water.
- Altitude Control Nozzle: An auxiliary rocket that maintains stability automatically using the Driving Computer.
- Aircraft Equipment: A hover system that blasts pressurized air to maintain a stationary position in flight, propel the Hurricane across water or to reduce the impact of a landing.
- Nuclear Engine: A small reactor that is the main engine, which produces 1,000 horsepower.
- Rocket Acceleration: Boosters that rapidly increase speed and helps the vehicle achieve flight.
- Special Tires: A set of two tires designed to be puncture proof, completely heat resistant and have special grip treads that allows the Hurricane to run vertically up the sides of buildings and walls.
- Reverse Injection Nozzle: A jet on the spoke of the front wheel that acts as a reverse thrust brake for emergency stops in tandem with the drag chute and as a posture control unit during flight.
