Our aluminium frames are hand built in the UK and optimised for strength.
A small hit on weight compared to our carbon and titanium frames is balanced by even greater impact durability and lower cost. The new S-range will be made entirely from Aluminium 7075 with CNC-manufactured lugs. Aluminium grade 7075 has superior ultimate and fatigue strength to other grades of aluminium but it can’t be welded so it isn’t typically used in bike manufacture – because we bond all the frames we can choose 7075 – a huge deal for us as we see far too many warranties over at Dyfi Bike park.
Lug and tube construction means that we can continue to offer a huge range of sizing, bringing to bear 15 years of race team experience on how to fit improves performance and rider confidence. The S range uses all our learnings to date on geometry and the DW suspension platform combined with four years of race proof and feedback from 100s of our customers riding in some of the world’s toughest locations.

You’re probably starting to get the picture. This is no budget aluminium look-a-like offering like some other brands. Athertons have applied the same excellent engineering skill to a different material and delivered what might just be one of the finest aluminium mountain bike there has ever been.
We all know that the more confident we are, the better we ride. Now we’re in a position to deliver that to all our riders in a great performing and perfect-fitting product. Lately I see my bike-mad teenager in the local woods and can confirm first–hand that it works in exactly same way… we’ve always been about progression and perfect-fit is central to that whatever your level.
Dan Brown
Beast of a bike, I’ve given it a good thrashing riding it like a dh bike doing dh laps all day and have had no issues. Have also been flipping and spinning it and it goes well, pretty stoked to spend more time on one of these rigs in the future. It climbs real well too because of the rider position on the bike with the steep seat tube, deffo a sick all rounder do it all bike.
Jim Monro
The S.150 is an incredibly capable bike, whether that is on the long climbs in the Dyfi Valley or the rough technical descents it never misses a beat. It even inspires confidence while pushing my limits in the bike park! All in all an AWESOME bike with bags of potential.
Will Savery, S.150
I’ve already clocked up some of the best days riding I’ve had in years, this bike goes so well!

FEATURES
PERFECT FIT
A perfect fit can transform both your confidence and performance for an amazing ride experience. We offer 12 sizes from 405mm reach to 515mm,, more than double any of our competitors.
STRAIGHT THROUGH SEAT POST
We’ve used a mixed wheel configuration and straight-through seat tube so you can slam that dropper, keeping the seat low for the descent and then getting maximum pop for the climbs.
DW4 KINEMATIC
DW4 linkage and a custom-tuned shock provide outstanding small bump sensitivity, optimal ride height and progressive kinematics. Less adjustability for custom sizing but easier to maintain than DW6.
LIFETIME WARRANTY
We use an Infinite-life approach to design ensuring that peak stresses are always below the fatigue run-out strength. This means no fatigue over time and that we can be 100% confident in offering a lifetime warranty.
NO THREADS, NO PROBLEM
There is nothing as annoying as a stripped thread so the only threaded parts on Atherton Bikes S Range are the Bottom Bracket (BB) and the protective covers. You'll never have to hunt a custom part again!
DESIGNED BY CHAMPIONS...
Our geometry is designed by World Champions and tested at Dyfi Bike Park, Mid Wales to ensure the best ever bike-handling, maximum fun and minimum maintenance for all riding styles.
We like simplicity and our design process is guided by engineering principles, this means the way our bikes look directly relates to how they will be strongest and perform best. We use the most cutting-edge technologies to make sure that your Atherton bike will be perfect for you and your riding…we’ve always dreamed that our bikes would be more accessible to more riders and our new aluminium range achieves just that.
