'''Space Marine Bikes ''' are incredibly deadly and robust [[bike]]s used by the [[Space Marine Bike Squad]]s for lightning-quick raids and reconnaissance.<sup>1</sup> 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.<sup>1</sup> 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.<sup>2</sup> 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.<sup>1</sup>
The typical armament of a Space Marine Bike are twin [[Bolter]]s mounted on either side of the bike's headlight.<sup>1</sup> A variant of the Bike is the [[Space Marine Attack Bike]], which includes a [[Heavy Bolter]] or [[Multi-Melta]] mounted on an attached sidecar.<sup>1</sup>
