He is a member of Red Alert who occupies a central highway, serving as the boss of the Central Circuit stage. He attacks the player by turning into a motorcycle and laying traps, surrounded by Runnerbomb grunts throwing bombs. Defeating Ride Boarski grants Moving Wheel to Axl and X, and Zankourin to Zero.

Behind the Scenes
Developer Commentary
- "He is a fast-paced Yankee wearing rider gloves and a crest. The guys who throw bombs from outside the ring during battles are probably his 'little bros.' He transforms into a bulky motorcycle form. It was difficult to come up with the transformation gimmick." - (Concept Art Room)[4]
