"The Legendary Air Ride Machine" is an orchestral, heroic-sounding theme that plays in the key of F Minor. The intro begins with a slower 148 beats per minute before it abruptly increases in tempo when the main section of the song starts, which is primarily played at 155 BPM. The main melody repeats once, with the repeated part having a slight deviation in notes, especially before the transition to the second section. Part of the second section of the song also slows down with a similar tempo as the intro, before quickly jumping back to the original tempo as the song nears its looping point.
