Legend

developed and produced by Razalon during the last decads of the Old Republic, the FC-20 speeder bike had a semi-circular body. This configuration made the speeder quite small, measuring just 1.64 meters in length, but it also made the speeder fast and maneuverable. The seat was located inside the arc, with the steering controls and braakes easily accessible by hands and feet. This semi-circular shape also made storage of the FC-20 much easier, since it didn't take up as much room as a long-bodied speeder bike. The repulsorlift engine of the FC-20 was heavily baffled, making it one of the quietest speeder bikes available at the time. Despite its popularity, the FC-20 was not as fast as most speeder bikes, having a top speed of 650 kilometers per hour, and it had a limited range before requiring recharging.
