Sometimes I feel like I'm not going fast, but it's just the bike being so smooth… Charlie says the same thing – he never looks like he’s going fast so I think there’s definitely something about this bike!!

Andi Kolb, Atherton Racing

The Atherton frame is covered in so many nice little touches, one of which is that the only threaded part of the frame is the bottom bracket. For the rest of the joints on the bike, it uses barrel nuts and standard fasteners.

Nick Bently, Pinkbike

To be the first British bike brand to take that Elite World Champs win, and to achieve that win on a production bike so soon in our company’s history is the absolute dream.

Dan Brown, CEO

The A.200's carbon construction and complex DW6 suspension linkage has a brilliant mix of sensitivity and forgiveness in one hand, but in the other lies a supportive and robust bike. That's an elusive combination that I've yet to find in any other downhill bike.

Matt Beer, Pinkbike

A bike that fits correctly and just ‘feels right’ has improved my confidence and has actually sped up my rehab from injury. I love the adrenaline rush that bikes offer and the Atherton fits like a glove and rides like a dream.

Rene Stent

“The first thing I noticed about the bike was how natural it feels... it’s just always doing that what you expect it will do, which definitely led to less crashing for me."

Dream Build

We offer 12 sizes for a perfect physical fit and two standard builds. Each Build 1 component was chosen because we believe that it blows everything else out of the water whilst Build 2 is based on parts chosen for their rugged reliability. But there’s no pressure to settle for our favourites, use our standard builds as a great springboard for your own line-by-line specification.

FEATURES

PERFECT FIT

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.

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.

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!

DW6 KINEMATIC

Dave Weagle’s DW6 linkage and a custom-tuned shock provide outstanding small bump sensitivity, optimal ride height and a progressive kinematic.

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.
