New Bike Launch Atherton S170 Walkthrough

[@justkeepdigging1956]

Tis a thing of beauty. For me the difficulty is working enough to afford a bike like this and still have enough time to ride it!

[@revivemtb5961]

That's what credit cards are designed for😂

[@Mcfc2Rich]

Klarna or V12. Fcuk it.

Definitely one of, if not the most beautiful alloy frames on the market. Industrial in an elegant way, like a mountainbike should look.

[@sampah89]

Aesthetic wise I prefer Banshee's or Raaw's alloy frames

[@southpawlibranine3511]

It's fucking ugly

[@stirfrybry1]

I agree. When I was racing on the east coast of the US I became friends with Frank Wadelton and I ended up buying a Motorhead frame and ordered it unpainted. It looked so awesome and I saved Frank a few bucks.

[@cogsnbanjo]

Beautiful architectural philosophy combining the rider, the design, dynamics and engineering processes. perfect.

[@femacampetiquettefordummie6979]

The rub and tug technology is a thing of beauty.

[@alexstudly]

That raw colour 😍 👌 🔥

[@Paulo-fr3xm]

Looks mint, well thought out, single piece rear, easy maintenance and lifetime warranty 👍

[@MrTechstyles]

Loving the Tug and Lube technology 🫣

[@DaveWeagle]

Looking great! Awesome work, team!

[@gavskxf]

Looks amazing

[@spencerwvcmoon]

Soooo darn koool so glad they Tore up the rulebook and showed them all ! PURE MASTERCLASS done to a tee wicked .

[@MrJohnadan]

Well said dude ✌🏽

[@Nueschl]

Rulebook seemed not to include the price 😅

[@Petermcpete]

what a work of art.

[@scottstidston7850]

All of your bike introduction videos are the best out there, great information and lots off stunning footage. Very much looking forward to moving back to the uk and coming to Dyfi to choose a bike.

[@AthertonRacing]

We look forward to having you! make sure to pop us a message when you're planning on coming: [e-mail]

[@a8f235]

Definitely a lot done right here. Love it.

[@NickelEye.]

Anyone else hear DW link and think of those bright green Iron Horse bikes Sam Hill was on?

[@Bonky-wonky]

Still do.. such an iconic bike. Same when hearing Hill, I love(d?) Nukeproof and CRC but my mental image of Hill will always be him drifting a flat corner on that green IH, just like I still see Peaty on that polished 222 with the old English graphics. I guess I’m getting old..

[@kwent3]

Best looking aluminium bike I seen ❤

[@PeakTorque]

Is this the first full 7075 frame? Strength of mild steel yet with massive stiff tube sections. Banging!

[@Dave-qy8sl]

Pole Voima

[@ap6584]

Beautiful looking bike, can't quite see where the motor is though...

[@stevematthes4325]

I hope they are not using the same head stem connector as the Pivot prototype bike that Bernard Kerr was using. Looks similar.

[@matthewchorlton8657]

Gee is an elite level salesman as well as mountain biker 👏🏼

[@BBKDRAGOON]

That is such a good looking bike!

[@jasonlewis6914]

So dope Do this in titanium that would be unreal!

[@RIDINDIRTYMA]

Headed to your neck of the woods in June from New England. As soon as we have lodging sorted im reserving a hire

[@WasntMeMTB]

Beautiful bike

[@MajorBorris]

I haven't seen one up close yet but from what I can see, the quality/design is exceptional. I wish I was more of a downhill rider/younger.

[@reubenbacon9156]

So nice!

[@razmtb5028]

wow!! that was amazing bike!

[@Danny_Transition_Patrol]

Beautiful bike, looks like a weapon.

[@AthertonRacing]

That it is!!

[@Danny_Transition_Patrol]

@@AthertonRacingI’d happily test ride one for a channel review! Wink wink nudge nudge!!! 😂😂 Wish you guys the best of luck with it.

​@Danny_Transition_Patrol bro here w/ 191 subs shooting his shot 😅

[@jez5180]

Looks epic!

[@RyandeMilliano]

Amazing ride, well done team!

[@superchickensoup]

Nice to see a big chamfer on them lugs, it helps to eliminate high stress at joint. Did you ever notice that BK's bike does not seam to have any chamfer at the lug joint?

[@thingswelike]

Looks incredible and isn't that expensive really. Great work!

[@JabRok86]

Gorgeous, utter beast

[@johncast9565]

This bike is for me!

[@AthertonRacing]

We can't wait to see you on one... what build is taking your fancy?

[@darrenwilliams6827]

Very nice rig❤

[@l.k.1011]

Bernard Kerr should have had this bike last weekend....

What a weapon! 😈

Love to see Denny Luffman shredding that test mule!

See you here on Thursday...

[@MudmanDH]

Beautiful frame I love it

[@scott8277]

makes me wish i needed a new bike.thing looks amazing

[@AthertonRacing]

you deffo need one of these!

[@BenSch100]

Just browsed your shop site a few days ago and the A range price points I'm unable to explain to my non biking wife... But this S.170 on the other hand is really tempting and giving me an itch 🤣

[@AthertonRacing]

New Bike Day on the horizon hey Ben! Let us know if you have any questions

[@HeidiFegles]

The geo is probably spot on for sure.

[@depunktride]

This bike looks very great 🤩

[@tbc_mtb]

Shit that is some rig, beautiful! God damn. 🔥

Simply love it!

[@bfranco1519]

Looks🔥

[@FINNdeischgut]

Wow, soo insane

[@nicjadlee]

outrageous bike

[@iopusor]

Very interested in how the 130 frame will turn up!

[@superchickensoup]

These will sell like hot cakes, life time warranty on the frame 👍

[@realgoodmind]

Sick!

[@jamieroberts6345]

If it's even a scratch of my AM150 then it really is the last bike you'll ever buy. The build quaility and tolerances are second to none

[@AthertonRacing]

🤩

[@randomcamerajunk6977]

I believe him.

[@MrUnl0rd]

I think we all believe it's strong, stronger than Gee even, which is bloody tough!

[@AthertonRacing]

Built Different

[@TrailAtlas]

That is one good looking bike 😍

[@freddelmalrides4267]

NOOOOOOO now i need this bike :( it sounds like my dream bike.

[@AthertonRacing]

DAMN WE GOT YOU! 😅 Can't wait to see you on one...

[@DaBinChe]

Dang this thing came out of nowhere! Love my A130 and was thinking of a A170 but now rather a S170.

[@AthertonRacing]

You know what to do.... [e-mail]

[@haldanemartin3642]

Nice!

[@johannesrink3211]

Super nice. E-Bike someday?

[@danytheunicorn95]

Finally!

[@uskypg]

Looks fabulous and definitely coming from Atherton should be bomb proof 😂 love the look way more than the carbon version. I would love to know why the tubes are round on your bike, square or other shapes are less desirable in terms of strength? Is there a warehouse in Europe or all are shipped from UK? Asking because of the additional the taxes involved

[@wallyr.7854]

I gotta have one 😳!!!

[@lifebehindbars8750]

Really like the look of this. Will it be available frame only?

[@AthertonRacing]

it sure is! www.athertonbikes.com/s170-frame.html

[@duncankirk9552]

Gen X here, this is exciting shit. Like proper mad

[@Xabeno]

Might be my new bike right there

[@AthertonRacing]

Good taste - we can't wait to see you on one - what build do you fancy?

[@Xabeno]

Ohhh tough question, I’ll be coming to wales in August to see my family from Australia and visit BPW, I may need to check in on sizes and custom build options. Definitely a sram + rock shox build. Looking for a build to absolutely eat Maydena bike park tech. I would be interested to know if the frame is designed for coil only or if it would be possible to use something like a vivid for coil like feel but easy adjustability?

[@davedavies8002]

Tidy boyo .. can you hire these at dyfi?

[@AthertonRacing]

We aim to have a demo fleet at Dyfi!

[@riaanvanschalkwyk5822]

For some reason, I really want a s170

[@stevenkilleen8149]

Can I get one in USA 100% the next bike I want exactly what I been looking for

[@AthertonRacing]

Hey Steven! You sure can... we ship worldwide! if you have any questions or want to talk to the team please contact us: [e-mail]

@AthertonRacing do excited saving now just got my bike for season ill be getting one 100% in winter

Stick around.... more coming this Thursday!!

[@LukaszKubica]

Hi, what about a bit shorter travel bike?

[@donpalmera]

Blimey,.. ~5 grand and you get partial NX drivetrain. That's just there so you have something until the replacement grey market import GX or better parts ordered from ebay turn up right?

[@bmx08]

Parece um quadro feito no fundo de uma garagem com poucas máquinas disponíveis. Os anteriores de carbono tbm

[@antonhoffart37]

best bike in decades ❤ 7075 aluminium❤ and a nice price ❤ it's a masterpiece ❤the rear and the front looks really good like the older bikes ❤my last bike a old Scott scale 40 had an 7075 aluminium frame and the stiffness was so sweet and handling so direct❤ I know I know it's a hardtail 😂 I would buy your bike it's a lifetime bike❤ and not the same bla bla bla Innovation Shit Like all the other bike companies for 10k and 15k

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

Impressive technology. Just short of a gearbox and belt drive! Looks indestructible.

[@HeidiFegles]

Get ol bernard Kerr on one of these bikes. He’s smashed so many pivot frames over the last few years I don’t think he wants to ride them anymore. I wouldn’t. These bikes are the best. Look who rides them and what they do. And Dan is an absolute bike nerd so you know they are built right. Best bikes you can get today

[@LloydG52]

😍😍😍😍

[@ContinentalBicycleTyres]

🚀❤

[@redbullet1982]

Great looking bike. Still hoping for a shorter travel, e-light bike. 🤞

[@OberliXVR]

Looks a bit like the tyee 👍 so good choice ;)

[@HarryL2020]

actually a reasonable frame only price considering the grade of Alu, kinda wish there was full 29 version

[@AthertonRacing]

Frame only is available now! www.athertonbikes.com/s170-frame.html isn't she 👌

[@heathfranklin4296]

Did you take hand gesture lessons from Cam McCall? Or is it just a Red Bull thing?

[@kieftoker]

insanity

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Awesome! Now just a trail hardtail full 29 and you can name your price...

[@jamesellis2784]

Neck flair . ? Crack when forks bottom out . Rain curb took mine . Flood curb .

[@mjbbell]

How much is frame only?

[@AthertonRacing]

You can see it here: www.athertonbikes.com/s170-frame.html

[@steveinoz8188]

If they aren't welded, then what holds the tubes to the joiners/lugs?

[@AthertonRacing]

www.athertonbikes.com/technology/build-srange.html

[@steveinoz8188]

OK. How are they bonded? SuperGlue?@@AthertonRacing

[@melch1]

Considering what happened to Bernard Kerr on his foldable pivot, reliable frames arrive at the right time...

[@oreocarlton3343]

How are the tubes connected to lugs with soldering or some other method? Thanks.

[@AthertonRacing]

www.athertonbikes.com/technology/build-srange.html

[@Chainsnsprockets402]

Epoxy 🤔. Hey if it passes the stress tests I guess it’s good. Curious to see what fails first. The aluminum or the bonding agent?

I got excited when he said he wants everyone to rode their bike so i promptly went to the site and ready to order. I found out im 1k short to purchase their frame😂😂😂😂 pretty insane price😅 but i bet i would be worth it but not for me😢

[@gbshreds]

no frame only?

[@AthertonRacing]

Frame only option here: www.athertonbikes.com/s170-frame.html

[@Coerced]

Love the looks, love the design priorities, good geometry. Would like some customization options for specs though as suspension should be prioritized over drivetrain IMO. Would also like a different shock on the frame-only build. And would like to see it produced in a more sensible country to avoid the post-Brexit international trade levy ;). Would actually really consider this to be my next bike if those things were different

[@filip1296]

why not make the tubes out of carbon fiber since you are bonding them ?

[@diveaddict6885]

Can you buy as a frame only?
