The smallest vehicle the Air Raider can call upon (unless exploding Roombas are counted as vehicles), the SDL1 is a high-powered sport motorcycle fitted with a sidecar that mounts a surprisingly potent machine gun. The driver has no weapon, and it is necessary for another player character to get in the gunner's seat to drive and shoot at the same time. It is the fastest vehicle in either game, though this is something of a double-edged sword in practice.

  • The smallest vehicle the Air Raider can call upon (unless exploding Roombas are counted as vehicles), the SDL1 is a high-powered sport motorcycle fitted with a sidecar that mounts a surprisingly potent machine gun. The driver has no weapon, and it is necessary for another player character to get in the gunner's seat to drive and shoot at the same time. It is the fastest vehicle in either game, though this is something of a double-edged sword in practice. According to the vehicle's description, it is an old model that pre-dates the EDF's advanced "air injection" SDL2 Airbike seen in Monster Attack, Global Defence Force and Earth Defense Force 2017. The latter apparently suffered from "numerous issues" that prevented it from being retained after the 2017 war, including low durability. Precisely how these issues were worse than the ones the SDL1 itself has is unclear. In EDF 4.1 it is improved (?) by giving the Air Raider the ability to summon more than one at a time: two with most models, and three with the level 18 version. The player can "reload" the SDL1 drop using the standard reload button to skip deployment of any remaining bikes and move to accumulating credits for a new set. It is also one of only two vehicles that can now be summoned in underground levels, the other being the new Depth Crawler. Deploying a new SDL1 underground will summon it instantly on the exact spot where the grenade landed; it simply appears magically in a puff of smoke.
