The Signal Bikes (シグナルバイク, Shigunaru Baiku) are miniature bikes used by Kamen Rider Mach and Kamen Rider Chaser in conjunction with their belt, the Mach Driver Honoh.

Overview[]

Some Signal Bikes enhance Mach's current form with a Signal Exchange (シグナル交換, Shigunaru Kōkan), adding the last part of a Signal Bike's name to its original name (i.e, Mach Magarl). Signal Exchanges also influence his Zenrin Shooter with different shooting capabilities depending on how many times the Mach Driver Honoh's Boost Igniter button is hit. Unlike Drive's Tire Exchanges, Mach's Signal Exchanges are nowhere near as flashy, and the Kourin Signal merely appears on his Signal Kourin. It is currently unknown if Chaser is capable of Signal Exchanges as well.

Much like how Shift Cars grant their users immunity to Heavy Accelerations, Signal Bikes can also do the same.

True to being the latest model from Drive's system, Signal Bikes are powered by NEX-Core Driviars, an improved version of Core Driviars. Like the Shift Cars, it would appear that Signal Bikes have some form of intelligence programmed into them, considering how Signal Kaksarn, Kikern, and Tomarle are able to man Go's camera whenever he needs photos of himself. However, their usage for scouting missions appears to be hindered by their sign motifs, as seen by Magarl trapping itself in a lap of its own creation and Tomarle stopping multiple times and hitting a light post repeatedly, causing Go Shijima to call them idiots. One episode reveals that such a defect can be neutralized if the Signal Bikes are accompanied by Shift Cars. Episode 22 as well shows that they can also destroy Roidmude constructs, such as Medic's fake murder victims.

After the Kamen Riders are met by Gold Drive, who possesses the ability to steal their weaponry, Rinna develops a special data coating which she applies to the transformation Signal Bikes and Shift Cars as well as the Trailer-Hou in order to protect them from Banno's power of theft. [When Will the Second Global Freeze Start?]

The Signal Bikes are among the Core Driviar objects to be locked beneath the Drive Pit by Krim Steinbelt to ensure the technology not to be fallen into any wrong hands. However unknown to him, Go has the Signal Chaser in his possession, wanting to keep it until he finds a way to restore Chase. [Who Will You Entrust the Future to, My Friend? ]

Design[]

A standard Signal Bike consists of the following parts:

  • Hard Metal Cowl (ハードメタルカウル, Hādo Metaru Kauru) - The outer armor of the Signal Bike, it consists of various alloys. Each Signal Bike's alloy proportions differentiate according to the Signal Bike's abilities. Additionally, the Hard Metal Cowl emits a small energy field to protect it even further during combat.
  • Core Driviar-S (コア・ドライビア-S, Koa Doraibia - S) - A small gravity engine device built into the Signal Bike, it is normally in the form of the 'engine' decoration of the Signal Bike. In addition to releasing energy, it can use waves emmited by the vibrations of the Core Driviar-S to cancel out Heavy Acceleration Waves.
  • Ability Crest (アビリティクレスト, Abiriti Kuresuto) - A graphic print on the rear wheel of the Signal Bikes, it indicates what ability the Signal Bike holds. If the symbol is a stylised 'R' (the Drive logo), then the Signal Bike is used for transformation.
  • KRDr-Signal Bike (Back)

    The rear of the Signal Mach with a black Signal Connect Key (4).

    Signal Connect Key (シグナルコネクトキー, Shigunaru Konekuto Kī) - A connecting device at the back of the Signal Bike, it is used to connect the Signal Bike to the Mach Driver Honoh, and conveys the abilities and characteristics of the bike to the Driver. In the DX toyline, the Signal Connect Key is a series of pin combinations used by the Driver to differentiate each Signal Bike from the other.

List of Signal Bikes[]

These Signal Bikes change the Rider's body (in the case of Kamen Rider Mach), granting them different stats and capabilities.

  • Signal Mach (シグナルマッハ, Shigunaru Mahha, Based on the Ride Macher): Allows Mach to transform into his default form. When used in the DX Drive Driver, it gives the sound for Type Next. It is unknown how he did so, but Go was able to get this Signal Bike out of the Drive Pit for the events of Super Movie Wars Genesis.
  • Shift Deadheat (シフトデッドヒート, Shifuto Deddo Hīto, Based on a motorcycle and sidecar): A Shift Car/Signal Bike hybrid that allows Mach to transform into Deadheat Mach, enabling him to access the Dead Zone state. Shift Deadheat first appeared only as a sidecar part since Rinna still tried to complete it, but got sidetracked by personal problems. Later, it was completed by Harley Hendrickson. Usage of Shift Deadheat carries the risk of turning the Mach System into an out of control rampant and attack anyone around him. The only way to stop this is to strike Mach with either a finishing move or an attack strong enough to deactivate Shift Deadheat's influence on him so that he can cancel the transformation. Usage of Shift Deadheat can also enable its user to resist the effects of a Super Heavy Acceleration field, but with the drawback of its user's enhanced capabilities being restricted as well as taking a much heavier toll on their body. However, it still allows a normal human to escape. Unlike Shinnosuke, even though there are no special emotions required, Go must believe in himself and have confidence in his own powers in order to use Shift Deadheat properly.

  • Signal Chaser (シグナルチェイサー, Shigunaru Cheisā, Based on the Ride Chaser): Allows Chaser to transform into his default form. When used in the DX Drive Driver, it gives the sound for Type Get Next. This Signal Bike was created using the blasted off part of Mashin Chaser's Violet Guard that was once used to help the Kamen Riders gain the ability to separate Advanced Roidmudes that went through the Fusion Evolution. After Chase's death, it was entrusted to Go Shijima, who used it to transform into Chaser Mach, a hybrid Rider form of Mach and Chaser. After the final battle against Banno, Go kept it in his possession. Thus, it is the only Signal Bike that wasn't sealed in the Drive Pit at the end of the series.


These Signal Bikes enhance Mach's current form with a Signal Exchange, altering the Kourin Signal on his right shoulder and granting him unique abilities based on the Signal he is armed with.

  • Signal Magarl (シグナルマガール, Shigunaru Magāru, Based on a dirt bike): Allows Mach to activate the Kourin Signal Magarl, enabling his Zenrin Shooter to fire beams that attack at an arc, which arc sharper and faster when the Boost Igniter is hit 4 times. When used in the DX Drive Driver, it gives the sound for a Tire Exchange into Next 01. Its name is an elongation of Magaru (曲がる lit. "To turn/bend").
  • Signal Kikern (シグナルキケーン, Shigunaru Kikēn, Based on a custom bike): Allows Mach to activate the Kourin Signal Kikern, enabling his Zenrin Shooter to summon a Demon Beast (魔獣, Majū) that starts out small, but then grows to giant size in nanoseconds so that it can maul the opponent with bites. When used in the DX Drive Driver, it gives the sound for a Tire Exchange into Next 04. Its name is an elongation of Kiken (危険 lit. "Danger").
  • Signal Tomarle (シグナルトマーレ, Shigunaru Tomāre, Based on a sports bike): Allows Mach to activate the Kourin Signal Tomarle, enabling his Zenrin Shooter to fire a shot shaped like Tomarle's logo that block's attacks when hit and paralyzes the opponent when it touches them. When used in the DX Drive Driver, it gives the sound for a Tire Exchange into Next 03. Its name is an elongation of Tomare (止まれ lit. "To stop").
  • Signal Kaksarn (シグナルカクサーン, Shigunaru Kakusān, Based on an American-style bike): Allows Mach to activate the Kourin Signal Kaksarn, enabling his Zenrin Shooter to launch attacks in every direction and hit all of his targets at once. When used in the DX Drive Driver, it gives the sound for a Tire Exchange into Next 02. Its name is an elongation of Kakusan (拡散 lit. "Scatter/Diffusion").


Legend Rider Signal Bikes[]

Signal Bikes that are based on the motorcycle-themed Rider Machines of previous Kamen Riders in the same fashion Signal Mach and Signal Chaser are based on their associated Riders' respective motorcycles.

Notes[]

Signal Bike in Shift Brace

The Mach Signal Bike placed within the Shift Brace.

  • To tie into the various theming around Mach being the center of Super-1 references, Mach's Signal Bikes match a similar color scheme of the Five Hands.
  • When any Signal Bike is used with either the DX Drive Driver and Shift Brace, DX Break Gunner, or DX Lupin Gunner, it will make the toy announce something involving the word "Next" (ネクスト, Nekusuto), referencing it being part of the Next System.
    • Drive Driver & Shift Brace: "Type Next" (タイプネクスト, Taipu Nekusuto) and various numbered Next Tire Exchanges.
    • Break Gunner and Lupin Gunner: "Next System" (ネクストシステム, Nekusuto Shisutemu), which can also occur when Shift Deadheat is inserted into the Break Gunner.
    • Similarly, placing Signal Chaser into the Shift Brace causes the Drive Driver to announce "Type Get Next" (タイプゲットネクスト, Taipu Getto Nekusuto).
  • Three of the Signal Bike's are based on a motorcycle design:
    • The Magarl Signal Bike is based on a dirt bike.
    • The Kaksarn Signal Bike is based on a cruiser bike.
    • The Tomarle Signal Bike is based on sport bike.
    • The Kikern Signal Bike is the odd one out, which resembles part of a motorbike fused with the hammer of a gun and one of the bullet beasts the Zenrin Shooter can shoot with Mach as Mach Kikern. It could be considered to closely resemble a streamliner motorcycle, such as the BUB Seven Streamliner.
