“The moment the engine sound roars to life, you already feel like a Rider” — that’s the experience this “SUPER BEST Transformation Belt DX Accel Driver” delivers. This belt, used by Ryu Terui in “Kamen Rider W”, is a unique device specialized in “running.” Set the Accel Memory in the center of the belt and twist the throttle on the right-hand side to complete your transformation, accompanied by a sound just like a motorcycle engine starting up. The realism of that sound alone is enough to send chills down your spine. The joy of perfectly recreating the moment you transform into Kamen Rider Accel in your own hands is irresistible, even for those who aren’t fans yet.

The appeal of this belt lies in the fact that it’s not just about “wearing it and being done.” The power throttle on the right hand remains operable even after transforming, letting you feel the energy surge with each twist. Pulling the Maximum Clutch Lever on the left hand and then twisting the throttle activates the finishing move “Maximum Drive.” The crisp “click” sound as you pull the lever feels just like a real gear shift, vividly bringing back Ryu Terui’s cool fighting style. The meticulous craftsmanship even allows for the multi-stage Maximum Drive effects as seen in “Fuuto PI”, which is simply impressive.

Visually, the Accel Driver also stands out from other transformation belts. From its tachometer-inspired dial, the red-painted markings in the red zone, to the dual-hand operation style reminiscent of motorcycle handlebars, its design condenses the essence of “speed.” By detaching the belt portion and holding it, you can even mimic the transformation into Bike Form. These kinds of gimmicks offer an ever-expanding range of play, with new discoveries waiting each time you pick it up.

The “SUPER BEST Transformation Belt DX Accel Driver” boasts a level of craftsmanship that transcends the category of Kamen Rider transformation items, standing as an experiential piece of gear. It’s truly a masterpiece that even adults will be captivated by. The thrill of transforming, the joy of operating it, and the beauty of displaying it — all of this is packed into this belt. You too should pick it up and feel it for yourself.
