Speeder bike

Speeder bike SWCT

An Imperial 74-Z speeder bike

Speeder bikes, also known as jumpspeeders, were open-air repulsorlift vehicles that emphasized speed and maneuverability over stability. A particularly powerful speeder bike is called a swoop.

The Jedi used the Undicur-class jumpspeeder, which proved popular with civilians.[1] Another civilian speeder bike was the Joben T-85 speeder bike, used by the Jedi Kanan Jarrus.[2]

The Clone Wars saw the development of the CK-6 swoop bikes for use in cold climates,[3] as well as combat speeders designed for the Separatist warlord General Grievous.[4] Hondo Ohnaka's gang rode Starhawk speeder bikes.[5]

The Imperial speeder bike lineage could be traced to the BARC speeders used during the Clone Wars.[6] Imperial forces used the 614-AvA speeder bike until it was phased out by the 74-Z.[7]

Speeder bikes were sometimes a target for theft. Merei Spanjaf, a teenage girl living on Lothal, owned a jumpspeeder that could fit into a speeder van. She normally wore a helmet and goggles when riding it.[8]

On At Attin during the New Republic Era, Fern and KB owned a modified two-being hoverbike, while Wim and Neel owned one-being hoverbikes.

Jace Rucklin had two speeder bikes, one orange and one blue when he befriend Kazuda Xiono. Unknown to Xiono, his blue bike was purposely sabotage.[9] The Warbird gang also use the same speeder bike model, during their raid on the Colossus[10] and when they kidnapped Torra Doza.[11] On Varkana, Synara San stole the same speeder model when she chase after Ax Tagrin. Norath Kev and Xiono escape on San's speeder bike.[12]

Behind the scenes[]

The Undicur-class jumpspeeder, 614-AvA speeder bike, and Starhawk speeder bike were all based on a vehicle concept by Joe Johnston[13] for Return of the Jedi.

Rucklin's speederbikes in Fuel for the Fire were also made from early concept arts of Return of the Jedi.[14]
