The Space Marine Attack Bike (Trike) has a side-car that carries a crew-operated heavy weapon. This heavy weapon combined with the manoeuvrability of the Assault Bike makes it excellent at rapidly deploying large amounts of heavy fire-power to those areas which require it urgently.1
Attack Bikes are normally formed into squadrons of two to three Attack Bikes and can be armed with either a heavy bolter or multi-melta - depending on their designated battlefield role - and each rider carries frag grenades to overwhelm unprotected infantry. Also, sometimes an Attack Bike may be part of a Bike Squadron.1 They are commonly used in more motorised Space Marine forces such as the White Scars2 and the Ravenwing of the Dark Angels.3 Variations on the naming and numbers of Attack Bikes are shown in the Space Wolves chapter, where only the Blood Claws ride bikes. They are known as head-strong and this is a good way for them to express this.4 Also, the Salamanders have less companies and so only the second, third and fourth companies have bikes in them.5
