Wind Rider

The Wind Riders are a class of motorcycle-like flying vehicles used by Specialists that debuted in Season 1.

Overview
Wind Riders are hover bikes that the Specialists use for short distance travel and sport. The Winx have also been seen riding them in a few episodes. The Paladins are seen using them, too. Wind Riders can also be shrunk and they are dubbed "Mini Wind Riders".

Specialists' Wind Riders
Its body is crimson red in color with blue windshields. The seat padding is in a darker shade of red than the vehicle itself. In the Specials, they are a bright red. The windshields are now white instead of blue. The seat cushions are blue and the headlights are circular as opposed to their triangular shape in the series.

Paladins' Wind Riders
In appearance, it is just like the Specialists' Wind Rider, except that its color is blue. Its headlights are a triangle in shape and yellow in color. They have a red stripe on either side of their wind rider.

Season 1
In "Friends in Need," the Specialists ride to Alfea on the vehicles. Later, they use them to transport the Whip to Red Fountain.

In "A Friendship Sundered," competitors ride on them for the festivities in Magix.

Season 2
In "Rescue Mission," the vehicles were used by the Specialists to take Aisha, Stella, and Bloom onto the Owl as they headed to Darkar's lair.

In "At the Last Moment," the Winx trained on the vehicles in order to sneak into Solaria's castle as flying hover cyclists.

Season 5
In "Trix Tricks," at the Annual Wind Riders Competition, the Specialists are seen riding the vehicles through many obstacles.

The Specialists were at Linphea College when the Treants began to attack the school. They used them to get around and defend the college and to save the Winx when they were plummeting to the ground after being teleported out of Cloud Tower by Selina.

Trivia

 * The symbols seen on the Wind Riders' navigation boards are based on letters from the Alphabet of the Magi, which was used by real-life practitioners of the occult for inscriptions in talismans in the 17th century.
 * These same symbols are seen when Lord Darkar used his powers in Season 2, and around Valtor's magic when he freed the Trix from Limbo in Season 8
