In Rider Form, Kabuto have the ability to 'Clock Up' and gain the speed which human can't see with naked eyes. Kabuto also can execute Rider Kick to finish his opponent to dust. The popular style of Kabuto's finisher is Counter Kick. Kabuto's bike is Kabuto Extender, the modified Honda CBR1000RR. Kabuto Extender have two modes, which is Masked Mode and Ex-Mode. The bike can 'Cast-off' and turn into Ex-Mode and has lengthened apparatus on the front known as Ex-Horn.

Kabuto has a weapon known as Kabuto Kunai Gun. The Kabuto Kunai Gun is Kabuto's personal sidearm that has three modes to use the weapon in various forms.
- Gun Mode - the default mode, fires high-intensity ion beam blasts and is equipped with tri-laser targeting called DAT Sight. Its finishing attack is an ionic energy blast called the Avalanche Shoot.
- Ax Mode - becomes active when the gun barrel is held, and is wielded by using the bladed butt of the weapon like a tomahawk. Its finishing attack is the Avalanche Break.
- Kunai Mode - activates when the gun barrel is detached, unsheathing a short-dagger weapon good for its swift and easy handling; this is favored most when Kabuto switches to Rider Form. This mode's finishing attack is the Avalanche Slash.
