Effect
The Mach Bike allows undefineds to move a lot faster than regular Bicycles and the Acro Bike (16 steps per second in Generation VI). It can move fast enough to ride straight up, or over cracked tiles without falling through (which appear in Granite Cave, the Sky Pillar, and Mirage Tower) if the player has enough momentum. If the undefined collides with something, all momentum gained is lost and the speed resets.

On the Seaside Cycling Road, a player's time and number of collisions while riding this Bicycle from the northern entrance to the southern exit are timed and recorded. This is part of the data sent over to other undefineds via record mixing.
