Yup, surrounding the enemy for purposes of annihilation is something bikes
are better at than any other units are.

Remember you can only reroll anything once, and it won't help if your
opponent has the advantage and rolled a six (the rerolls only affect your
die, not your opponenent's).

Eldar bikes are probably the most likely to move into 15 cm in the movement
phase, fire, and then (by going first in the assault phase) firefighting
the enemy. It's riskier than the usual tactic, though. The advantage is
that they don't even have to be on assault orders to do it.
