Nod continues to use it's trademark recon motorcycles, it's third iteration known as the attack bike. The newest model is even faster than it's predecessors, but this speed comes at a cost - the armour is practically non-existent, the driver (usually a militant) is completely exposed and it has absolutely no defenses against enemy infantry.
It still carries two missile launchers capable of decimating GDI air incursions or destroying GDI V-35 Ox transports before the cargo could disembark as well as weakening armoured spearheads. Nod, the Black Hand, and the Marked of Kane can also upgrade it's bikes to use Tiberium core missiles. In addition, it has a sophisticated set of detectors, allowing it to detect any stealthed units or structures.
This was noted by Avatar Warmech pilots, who discovered that the stealth detection modules in the attack bikes were easily removed with the warmech's right grasping claw. Much to the dismay of the bikers, the rest of the bike, and the crew, was destroyed during the process, if the pilot didn't have the courtesy to tell them of his intentions.
Nod engineers considered revamping the weapon and turning it into a mobile anti-infantry platform by replacing the twin launchers with a triple barreled chaingun on a flexible tail mount. However, this concept was scrapped.
