Strike Rider
From Power Rangers Universe
With the strength of a Tiger, Strike Rider Cruise!
The Strike Rider is the Jungle Fury Red Ranger's main vehicle. Once summoned the Red Ranger gains top-body armor matching the vehicle. It possesses two front blasters as well, generated from the 'eyes' of the Tiger-head motif that forms the head of the cycle. The head and seat itself is hinged on a jaw that separates from the wheels to 'bite' opponents. For High Speed Attack Mode, this jaw further opens and moves the front wheel to the back leaving the head's fangs exposed while the head forms a closed cockpit locking in with Red Ranger's armor. This mode is used for a high-speed charge to the opponent. Even with the added Jungle Master Mode to the ranger's arsenal, the Red Ranger is often seen using the Strike Rider mode even as Yellow and Blue Rangers activate their Jungle Master Modes.
[edit] Battlizer Status
Casey received his Strike Rider relatively early on. It's not referred to necessarily as a Battlizer nor does it appear to fully envelop Casey as a Battlizer does. Unlike Battlizers, the armor only covers the top half of Casey's torso up to his shoulders. However it does provide Casey with a special red ranger finisher just like a Battlizer would.
