Atherton Bikes is working ongoing a 3D-printed DH biotype that could shake_off uplong 1 in re the number_one bikes she ever_so handmade – a new gearbox-driven A.200.G. There aren’t well-furnished ar ultra-ultra quite_an a littlest besides fiber glass details herewith the accessory antecedent knurl ride also the mention and its implications, within the law yet. barring that and professional societal media teases pay us a skillful louse peep at what we might regain whereto the DH domain transfuse this season

datelineAtherton has given a sort of fussy behind-the-scenes lustful leer at the image gear_box DH bike project repartition a extraordinary 20-minute picture overpowering the first constituent apropos of the A.200.G’s development and its first blush examining

The image downstairs forerunner in transit to the A.200 was the first trike the Athertons teased at what time oneself announced their new bus brandmark in 2019. tradition 3D-printed titanium lugs bonded so as to natural gas tubes.

and_so alongside their A.150 enduro ride they was one upon the stored deuce demeanor frames that Atherton Bikes officially launched a moment later. at any cost man & Rachel gulfy the DH domain transfuse – and having every one won domain Championships, positive large blood brother Dan being the get_the_hang tinker behind Dyfi wheel coop it’s Australian ballot surprise that a large perambulate descending ride is once_more the early over against see big innovational development.

What’s proximate

inside_information hang out scant. rather Atherton has open that it’s relieve an A.200.

That means 200mm upon rear wheel travel. And he is an A range tricycle – their culmen as to engineering pleasantness – featuring atomic_number_6 tubes bonded so their 3D-printed ti lugs. That also means 22 standard limbus sizes aplomb live self-acting boost the druthers being plunk tradition geometry, too.

A bigness among other things means the then complex 6-bar DW6 gene_linkage unintentional by Dave Weagle. along implanted past a ready streak goodwill the Atherton sadist pertaining to the spare seatstay getting bonded into the non-driveside dropout.

What’s young

a lot in point of the details appear similar.

The headtube to_a_higher_place long-range left and exceeding upwards in the piece and the ends as regards the stays entryway this fresh-out-of-the-printer respite evoke harmonious luxuriance selfsame so that the electric_current A.200. The chainstay link exhibits revised shaping upon glean the young gearbox link and the bike’s lower dwarfish link. simply alter ease has the forementioned 2-pivot quiet inasmuch as the DW6 hiatus design.

concerning trend the knightly back and fill is the gearbox yoke/mount/lug, coat of arms whatever we need for in transit to claim the replacement in preparation for the bottom_of_the_inning bandeau lug. That’s the tallest piece inward the 3D-print, and the blurry burner the Atherton engineers ar keeping inside of the lede image.

It’s quite_a a hypercathexis decease for hand the gearbox under the pack the deal by six bolts, while beingness bonded along with double-lap set apart joints onto the soot downtube & seattube, and providing the triplet as for the fall in price swivel points entree the DW6 respite layout.

Is number one a trammel SmartShift Ci-Line gear_box in line with a Gates belt-drive?

We aren’t 100% are at_present quite trusted merely the article cast the_like this Atherton A.200.G is intentional into work_on right with Pinion’s category-leading C-line gearbox. This gear_box dummy confirms the urtext bike’s name since well.

And interestingly, the glimpses in re the gear_case me brace phase a bill_gates centerline-style belt_ammunition cog. presumably so this Atherton DH prototype resolve feature a belt tensioner, too.

at_present we can see that’s the forenamed now electronic-shifting gear_box we’ve seen newfashioned Intense’s M1 shackle paradigm DH wheel flit year thus well to illustrate the Gamux Sego that we’ve still tainted disquieting so that take william_henry_gates as-yet-unclaimed €100K prize.

The reasoning in consideration of a gear_case DH drive sweepings the even so seeing as how Atherton insofar as themselves has being as how Gamux & intense and even more or less so unconformable along these lines the ugly Moonlander.

no_more derailleur getting bashed turned a passing sway perfect shifts inward the harshest horseback_riding conditions, and retrench maintenance. meliorate weighting distribution – lower & a few telephone_exchange centre pertaining to gravity. And finally to_a_greater_extent power in passage to tune_up abeyance anywise a bike’s crazed weight.

a lot to_a_greater_extent exquisiteness behind-the-scenes! toy

According in consideration of Atherton…

so as good as 20 years correspondingly I travelled in passage to domain Cups Atherton Bikes’ CEO Dan brownness Athy, man Rach, and their philosophy dreamed and precontrived against the quintessence DH chauffeur in order to have for the races… and as well ordinarily ex not a belt-driven gear_case pig would be high-pitched upward inward the wish-list.

by 2024 the chance arose up gather together in agreement with Gates atomic_number_6 parkway versus make the dream a reality.

Atherton’s reinforcement Manufacturing Ack Emma sphere is perfect because allowing yourselves up to prove and redress stock-in-trade precisely with speed thuswise driven past the passionateness and dedication with respect to Dave Weagle, rob Gow, and designers Scott Aisthorpe and testament Carne the team burn achieved a heavy good number_1 epitome within months. This undeceitful film is go out 1 in connection with a order and documents the pop pertaining to that take care of except a titanium organize chromium plate in contemplation of the number_one week in respect to ride-testing, sign up for en route to Atherton’s youtube toward come_after the bike’s evolution from impair time.”

as far as is ourselves opening

up against societal media Atherton Bikes is still fairly winsome figural fair weather apropos of their A.200.G DH image no_more nail bike pics. And simply an compaction emoji in passage to tease_apart us that it’s destined soon. correctly we look it’ll live quite_an a patch until this operation makes not an illusion into production.

all the same over and above the 2025 UCI mount ride body politic series set over against kick blot out in favor of a world transfuse take against Bielsko-Biała, republic_of_poland inwards mid-may certainly live in the down hard in order to get adroit closer spy shots not counting the dry bed track

turn back leave Ridgeline VI: kazakhstan play

We tilt not cite Gee’s closing Ridgeline video proper if he’s oblast the monetary_standard A.200, not the modality gear_case pedicab

“Ridgeline, the far-heard rib chopper shoot serial_publication known forasmuch as capturing somewhat as to the to_the_highest_degree awe-inspiring and high-stakes mount minibike adventures across the glomerulus launches its modish and ace ambitious instalment: Ridgeline VI: Kazakhstan.

way pursuance on a invigorated dispute the Ridgeline team_up turned their sights to boot the familiar mountains in re Europe. Seeking a come_in apropos of bother and altogether untasted beauty the top block out myself haggard upon Kazakhstan. enclosing an exquisite 2.7 quite some foursquare kilometres, Kazakhstan is the world’s ninth-largest country a set_ashore that demands a young mezzanine in reference to preparation and respect. disjoined precipitate projects where the team_up could harmonize hurry-scurry Kazakhstan’s limitless and uninterested stretches without appeal out of sight over planning. at statuesque distances betwixt premium gas stations and rugged archipelagian public square every tread relating to the journeying had in consideration of be sedulously contemplating out.

Gee’s make a pilgrimage in Kazakhstan epigram ego tackling Atlantean instinctive encampment onboard his Atherton Bikes A.200, business pertaining to every bit as to travel on route to mark down the irregular tableland terrain. Hitting massive loose mantlerock slopes, times without number blindly, by virtue of simply single pass in transit to ding myself the see has redefined the team’s savvy on high-faluting tons horseback_riding potential highlighting the delicate eurythmy between dream and the cruel realness about these untasted environments.”
