With the launch of the new S.150, Atherton Bikes range grows, an all-aluminium, made-in-Wales, Mullet wheeled, subtractive manufactured version of the AM150.
With 150mm rear travel and Mullet wheels, the Atherton Bikes S.150 might be built differently but it’s designed for the same terrain the famous family are known for.
Second bike out of the S-series gate, is the S.150 is the all-aluminium, 150mm travel. The S.150 is ‘subtractive manufactured’ in that the custom butted 7075 tubes are bonded into CNC’d lugs with double lap shear joints. Apparently 7075 was Dan Atherton’s obsession as a yoof.
Like its bigger brother, the S.150’s 150mm travel is managed by a DW4 link and rolling on Mullet wheels, this bike is designed for some serious riding. The all-alloy frame though allows complete bikes to start at a similar price to the AM150 frameset whilst still being manufactured on-site in the UK. A straight through seat tube gives maximum dropper insertion and the usual massive spread of size options are available with 12 different reach sizes in 10mm increments on offer.
Three complete bikes and a frameset will be on offer to begin with, though no custom build options are available. Build 3 kicks things off at £4,499 rising to the range topper Build 1 at £5,999. The frame with a Rockshox Super Deluxe air unit is £2,799.
