Despite having the slowest acceleration, the Skim Speeder can blow past the rest and maintain speed with Knife Edge cornering.

Variety is the spice of life in Star Wars: Galactic Racer, but while the Land Speeder boasts resilience and the Speeder Bike excels at acceleration, the Skim Speeder is about top speed. Check out the latest episode of Under the Hood with Shade’s mechanic Hibi for more.

The Skim Speeder falls between the above two vehicles in terms of resilience. It won’t tank all the damage like the Land Speeder, but should still outmuscle the Speeder Bike. While the slow acceleration won’t win over many racers initially, keeping at it delivers a very high top speed.

The challenge is maintaining it. Thanks to Knife Edge cornering, you can navigate some of the trickiest turns without losing any momentum. Turn too sharply, however, and you’ll pay for it, and getting back to top speed can be difficult. That’s where the Ramjet and Afterburner come in, especially in hot and cold conditions, though you’ll still need to master the vehicle to excel.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches on October 6th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. There are still other vehicles to detail, so stay tuned for the next episode. In the meantime, head here to learn more about Multiplayer Tours and the different playable characters, each with unique characteristics.
