'''Blazer Turbo Bike'''
The road going anti-grav 'bike' is a plaything of rich speed freaks. It is extremely fast and maneuverable. Consequently it is ideal for the lone X-COM Agent.
A single person vehicle commonly used by civilian organizations for private or recreational use, which is not suitable for X-Com. If a lone agent is sent to a building for a mission, items must be picked up to be kept otherwise, due to no Cargo Module, everything else will be left behind. It is the only vehicle available that is not manufactured by [[Marsec]].<br>
Upgrading the engine will also increase acceleration due to its light weight.
The Blazer Turbo Bikes is an unarmed single person transport. Its only means of expansion is a single small-engine upgrade. It is commonly used by civilian organizations for private or recreational use and is otherwise not suited to X-COM's needs. However, should X-COM fall into hard times and require a cheap means of transport that's faster than the people tubes, or you wish do some roleplay or a challenge, then this is it. It is also the only purchasable vehicle that's not produced by [[Marsec]] and therefore the only vehicle X-COM will be able to buy should relations with Marsec turn hostile.

Note that with the Road Wars mod, Blazer Turbo Bikes can be armed with small weapons and the road system can be made indestructible. It's still hard to see a use for this vehicle, but it might prove an irritating distraction for hostile flyers.
:<sup>1</sup> Armor is given as Top/Front/Left/Right/Rear/Bottom. The in-game Ufopedia rather misleadingly displays only a single armor value, the sum of the values on all six of the vehicle's facings.
:<sup>2</sup> Top speed and Acceleration depend on engine. If total weight is less than 350 (which is always the case unless you modify the game files), Turbo Bikes get a +4 bonus to their engine speed. This is included in the table above.
