Bike Check: Charlie Hatton's A.200.G
Gates Belt-Driven MTB
Introducing the A.200.G our Gates belt-driven DH bike. This 2025 World Cup season Charlie and the rest of the Continental Atherton race team will be on board the prototype A.200.G.
Charlie has been hugely instrumental in the design and testing of this bike and it’s fair to say that even at this very early stage of development he’s stoked.
Charlie said “I’ve had the bike less than 2 weeks and I’ve probably put in about 10 days riding so far! Even on the first day, it blew me away, even on the first run I couldn’t stop getting faster, and it’s so silent, I hate a noisy bike, feeling like something’s rattling or might fall off messes with your concentration, a dialled bike is silent."
