FAQ's
I’m torn between two models, how do I choose?
It’s often helpful to focus this question on the terrain you ride most regularly and your focus on those rides. But there is a lot of overlap.
The 130 is awesome for riders who love flowing trails and the chance to earn their descents but it’s also super tough, so it’s fully warrantied for bike park use and super fun!
The A150 opens up rougher and steeper terrain.
The 170 was designed for rowdy bike park laps but is an absolute beast on the trails ... and it climbs “better than a bike with this much travel has any right to.” MBUK.
Of course, if you’re going to race downhill there’s no question – choose the World Championship-winning A200!
What warranty is offered with Atherton Bikes
We will only ever sell bikes that we are confident ride ourselves. Because of this, original owners will be offered a conditional lifetime warranty on the frame, excluding wearable parts such as bearings.
What are the differences between the A130 and A130.X?
The frame is the same. We started with a specific X build using a longer 150mm travel and tougher components for a more enduro-friendly ride but you can ask us to fit a 150mm fork to any of our recommended builds – or spec your favourite parts from frame with shock and fork to full bike.
How much does the A130 weigh?
Frame weight is approximately 3.1kg without shock; complete builds can get as low as 13kg.
Can I take the A.130 to the Bike Park?
Yes absolutely – in fact, some of our engineers ride their A.130s at Dyfi every week – not only is the A.130 super capable but it’s passed EWFBE’s most stringent tri-tests clearing it for both Enduro and Downhill use – so we offer lifetime guarantee wherever you ride.
Can I get the A130 as a mullet?
No, we believe that our trail bikes perform best as 29ers and so that’s what we offer. We wouldnt want to compromise your experience of this bike in any way...
