Space Marine Bike
Space Marine Bikes are incredibly deadly and robust bikes used by the Space Marine Bike Squads for lightning-quick raids and reconnaissance.1 These vehicles are equipped with powerful engines, required to propel a fully-armoured Space Marine at high speeds, and boast highly-responsive controls required to perform complex battlefield maneuvers.1 They are able to operated in a wide range of environments, from shifting dune seas to ice-strewn wastelands to rocky moonscapes, and are simple enough in design that their riders can perform repairs in the field if necessary.2 Their sturdy construction and wide, thick tires allows for the bike to easily smash through rockcrete walls at full speed without harm to either bike or rider.1
The typical armament of a Space Marine Bike are twin Bolters mounted on either side of the bike's headlight.1 A variant of the Bike is the Space Marine Attack Bike, which includes a Heavy Bolter or Multi-Melta mounted on an attached sidecar.1
