BIG MOUNTAIN ENDURO BIKES
Inspired by Dan Atherton’s riding in the Dyfi, the A.170 is super-playful and designed to excel on the steeps. This hard-hitting,big-mountain enduro bike has a mixed-wheel configuration, DW6 suspension platform with 170mm of rear travel and a straight-through seat-tube all of which combine to create an awesome all-rounder that is a big hitter in the bike park and a beast out on the trails.
WHICH ONE'S FOR YOU?
A.170.1
When it came to speccing our A.170.1 Big Mountain Enduro bike we chose only the very best. The AM.170.1 is our Fox Factory build and comes with a choice of Fox Float X2 or DHX22 with either 170mm or 180mm Fox 38s up front.
A.170.2
We’re offering Build 2 with a choice of Ohlins TTX22.M2 Coil or Air and Ohlins RXF38 and either 170mm or 180mm up front. Watching riders struggle with equipment failures reminds us that reliable components are key.
A.170.3
Build 3 comes with a choice of Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate Coil or Air and Zeb Ultimate with either 170mm or 180mm up front. Components have been chosen to guarantee you the maximum trouble-free days.
A.170 FRAME
We’re all for people carving their own paths and we know that some of you will have your own preferred builds, it’s such a personal thing. Order “frame-only” and create your very own dream build.
The Atherton A.170 is truly unique, with its top-tier spec, it’s trimmed uncompromisingly for downhill performance!
My only complaint then, was having to give the AM170 back before my Alps summer holiday. Because, for riding DH tracks, Morzine steeps and a blend of natural enduro trails, I struggle to think of any other bike I’d rather ride than this rounded package that rides lighter than the scales suggest and looks unique to boot.
Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned trail veteran, the Atherton is a tremendous riding companion in all sorts of situations, from flowing trails to tough enduro stages and even gnarly downhill tracks.
Atherton A.170 is your choice for the most desirable mountain bike of 2023... Is it the dream of being as fast as one of the Atherton siblings, or the hand built in the UK titanium and carbon combination that turns your head? Maybe it was Gee Atherton’s insane Dolomites edit? Whatever it is, it all comes together to the Atherton Enduro.170 being the bike you desire the most.
FEATURES
PERFECT FIT
We believe that a perfect fit can transform your ride experience so we offer more sizes than our competitors, from 410mm reach to 530mm as well as custom sizing options.
DW6 KINEMATIC
Dave Weagle’s DW6 linkage and a custom-tuned shock provide outstanding small bump sensitivity, optimal ride height and a progressive kinematic.
NO THREADS, NO PROBLEM
The only threaded part on our bikes is the BB; for the rest, barrel nuts and standard fasteners mean you'll never have to hunt a custom part again.
STRAIGHT THROUGH SEAT POST
With a mullet set-up, we’ve moved to a straight-through seat tube so you can keep the seat low for the descent but still get maximum pop for the climbs.
CUSTOM CARBON TUBING
Our carbon tubing is custom-built for us to achieve the perfect balance of stiffness and compliance – meaning that your Atherton Bike will track the trail like no other.
PORT-TO-PORT CABLE ROUTING
This approach offers a clean and sleek aesthetic, eradicates rattle and makes maintenance as easy as for an externally routed system.
DREAM BUILD
Available on our A Range
Across our Enduro range we offer a choice of standard builds with the option of coil or air shock. Our builds can focus either on well-priced components chosen for rugged reliability or “the best that you can get” so there’s something for everyone! But there’s no pressure to settle for our favourites, use our standard builds as a springboard for your line-by-line specification.
