As you should know, the damned [[Eldar|knife-ears]] are the only faction other than the [[Necrons]] to field Jetbikes en masse. Possibly because it is due to the fact that unlike [[Imperium of Man|some other people]] they actually try to preserve and use their technology to best of their expertise. They are used by not only Craftworld Elfdar but also the [[Harlequins]] and even the [[Dark Eldar]] (Albeit at lesser quantities and amounts to the point it is not even in their armory). These sleek and elegant craft, capable of high speeds and extreme maneuverability, are testament to the Eldar's mastery of anti-gravitic technology, much to the amazement and [[Butthurt|jealousy]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. On the battlefield they are commonly used as skirmishers, scouts, and fast-response units.

Contained within the body of these Jetbike are powerful anti-gravitic motors, allowing the craft to attain such great velocity that without an Eldar's enhanced reaction speed it would be lethal to ride, so for all you [[Imperial Guard|Guardsmen]] out there who will try to sneak up on one and do a wheelie. [[FATAL|Please don't.]] Through subtle manipulation these motors can also send the bike into a steep climb or sharp dive, though its shape naturally inclines it towards level or upward flight. Long, curved vanes on either side of the bike allow for incredibly sharp mid-air turns. Like most Eldar technology the Jetbike is mentally attuned to the natural psychic abilities of the Eldar so even if you were to ride one without getting your ribs crushed by '''XTREME!''' g-force, if you aren't a [[Psyker]] then consider it a dud. Anyways, these psychic mumbo-jumbo works via small patches of psychotropic crystals, within the bike's handlebars and the rider's gauntlets, allowing the rider to control the craft through mental commands. For an Eldar to master the Jetbike is an exhilarating challenge that can take years of practice to reach their full potential, but those who do are said to build a rapport with their steeds comparable to the horsemasters of legend.

Jetbike armament consists of twin-linked [[Shuriken Catapult#Shuriken Catapult|Shuriken Catapults,]] although special craft known as Shrieker Jetbikes instead mount a single [[Shuriken Cannon]]. Jetbikes are most commonly used by Guardian Jetbike Squadrons for a number of battlefield duties, particularly the Wild Riders of [[Saim-Hann]]. The only known Aspect Shrine dedicated to the Jetbike are the [[Shining Spears]], a rare group found on only a few Craftworlds, but they are so in tune with their steeds that they can perform complex maneuvers with but a single gesture. As well, many war-leaders of the Eldar are also known to ride into battle on Jetbikes, including [[Farseer|Farseers,]] [[Warlock (Eldar)|Warlocks]] and [[Autarch|Autarchs.]]
