Trike
From Lexicanum
Contents |
Overview
Trikes are three wheel vehicles designed for rapid deployment of heavy fire power over difficult terrain. They can consist of a main Bike with an added side-car and heavy weapon or be purpose built as a three wheeled vehicle. While less stable than a four-wheeled vehicle, trikes retain the manoeuvrability and speed of bikes but with the ability to carry heavier weaponry.
Space Marine Attack Bikes are designed to mount a heavy weapon (Heavy Bolter or Multi-melta), allowing heavy fire-power to be deployed rapidly, usually accompanied by other fast moving units, such as Space Marine Bikes.1 Squat Trikes are designed to provide heavy fire power with maximum stability and as such have a pair of synchronised wheels at the back.2-p179 No other armies have anything comparable to the Trike.
