The Cyclone is a vehicle introduced in Borderlands 3. It is a light, fast vehicle that is operated by a single rider in a seated position inside a single large unicycle wheel. Cyclones rely on their speed and agility to avoid taking damage, and are armed with a pair of cannons that can swivel through a full 360 degrees.
Like all player-controlled vehicles in Borderlands 3, alternative parts can be unlocked by finding or hijacking vehicles equipped with them and returning them to a Catch-A-Ride station.
Driver Weapon
Being a single passenger vehicle, the Cyclone does not have a turret weapon and relies on the driver weapon only. To compensate, the Cyclone's pair of cannons is stronger than the driver weapons of other vehicles. It also lacks the blind angle of those and can be fired in any direction, even backwards.
Part | Description | Acquisition |

Heavy Guns |
The Cyclone's default weapon. Fires the same bullets as the front-mounted machine guns of other vehicles, but with higher accuracy and two bullets per shot for higher damage output.

Armor
The Cyclone has the weakest armor of all player-controlled vehicles: compared to the stripped armor Runner, the Cyclone has 85% hit points with stripped armor and 125% with heavy armor.
Wheel
Different wheels add special driving characteristics, sometimes at the cost of acceleration. Top speed is equal for all wheels at roughly 80 mph on level ground.
