- Jet Sliger
The SB-VX0 Jet Sliger is a fictional vehicle from the series
Kamen Rider 555 . It is a combat motorcycle designed to be used by Kamen Riders Delta and Faiz (Kaixa might have one, but it is never seen). All known versions of the vehicle were destroyed by the end of the series, but others may exist. In the movie "Paradise Lost" (which took place in an alternate continuity to the series) Jet Sligers were mass produced to support Riotroopers, and dozens can be seen when an army of Riotroopers assault Faiz (although they do not appear later in the film.)The Jet Sliger's unique design gives it unparalleled speed, maneuverability and firepower for a vehicle of its size. However, its open cockpit yields little defense, intended to be operated by one wearing a Kamen Rider Gear, providing its own protection. It has 5 powerful jet engines that can drive it forward at speeds approaching 1300 km/h and 3 large maneuvering thrusters on each side to allow speedy turns or fast sideways movement. Its wheels can rotate 90° left or right on their axis, allowing the Jet Sliger to drive sideways or spin 360° on the spot. It is also able to fly, hover and travel underwater, but it loses much of its maneuverability when doing so. It can also be operated by remote.
The Jet Sliger also mounts an impressive array of weapons. It has a high powered Photon Cannon mounted above the front wheel, and a concealed missile rack on either side of the cannon. Each missile rack fires 8 Smart Brain multistage sidewinder mini-missiles, that in turn split into a further 8 micro-missiles (64 in total) with a range of 2400 meters. This is combined with its open cockpit design that not only facilitates rapid mounting and dismounting , but also allows a Rider to use their personal weapons too. This feature can also be seen as a weakness, as it leaves the pilot (less important, since it was designed to be piloted by those wearing heavily armoured Rider Gears) and the control interface vulnerable.
Faiz's Jet Sliger was destroyed in a battle with Delta while Kitazaki was wearing it. The controls were hit, forcing the Jet Sliger to lose control, and crash into a cargo container breaking the front axle. The rest of the machine was destroyed by Delta's Jet Sliger's missiles.
Delta's Jet Sliger was destroyed by Kaixa and his SB-913V Side Basher.
