Asuch as the dyf-e looks good,.it's going to weigh 24-25 kg at least. Solid looking and burly, but heavy. Shame they didn't do carbon

I would say it could be 21-23kg depending on the build spec. Avinox motor and battery weigh 2.5kg & 3.75kg. The Atherton alu normal bikes (S150 & S170) weigh around 16-17kg.
 
Info is out!
Alu frame, Avinox drive, 170mm travel. £7-9k complete, depending on model

Edit: the pricing is not half bad for a custom-geo full build. By my exchange rate calculation $9400-$12k, with the Rockshox ultimate build right in the middle (about $10,800)

Edit 2: lol, it got pulled again. I guess they are in the process of updating the site.

It will be over 23kg. Carbon avinox with burly builds weigh that or more. So this will be 24-25kg

This also worries me. Are they going 600 instead of 800. Massive deal breaker for me if so.
 
Interesting 🤔 Amflow has proven you can make a full power / 800W battery bike in the SL weight range. The 600W batteries are fine but by todays standard you can have your cake and eat it too.

I’m only guessing but maybe Atherton’s round down-tube design is what they are trying to retain which is imposing some engineering challenges with a larger battery?

Not really. The avinox system is almost the same weight as the bosch cx and way heavier than an sl system.
 
If Avinox it's likely their own battery like Rotwild have done.

10s3p battery pack with a 6500mah 21700 cell will get them 700wh pack. This would fit in an roughly 60mm id round downtube. Length would be between the current 600wh and 800wh packs.
 
Looks good to me and I personally wouldn't worry about the weight of 24 or 25kg if you are wanting something they say is cat 5 with a lifetime frame warranty and able to survive Dyfi.

EDIT looks like the Avinox motor itself is only category 4 so they can only give the full bike cat 4....

"All Atherton frames come with a lifetime warranty for the first owner and the chassis is tested to EFBE Category 5 standards, the highest strength classification for mountain bikes.

The Avinox motor comes with a 2 year warranty- and carries a Category 4 rating. Making the complete S.170E approved for Category 4 useage."

OOoooof an Avinox and an Atherton combo, they're going to sell a shit-tonne of these ! Even if some of the Ebike experts on here don't want because of a smaller battery, it won't stop people who love the Athertons bikes buying them by the lorry load.

I prefer the looks of the carbon too, but the S range is a superb looking thing.

Let's hope that it is not 23-25kg, it would be pointless to say at marketing level we reduce the battery size to have a lighter bike, I do not think 1 more kg past 24-25 does not matter much anymore, still very heavy.

At least leaving the choice to people would have been smarter, especially as they do custom tube.

As for sales, the taxes from UK to UE is madness so not sure they will sell much out there, honestly never seen one.
 
I'm just curious what the servicing/warranty arrangements will be. All the Avinox bikes in my group have been back a couple of times for sensors and water damage to the wiring loom. Would it have to go back to Wales? My LBS sells Forbidden but I know they won't touch an Amflow

Yeah, this is a big issue. Plus parts being scarce for avinox. Really surprised they went DJI.
 
Depending on final weight, I'd be ok with the 600wh. Be interesting to see what they announce today
 
The top tube looks pretty tubular, so no display there. I made a comparison photo with an existing S.170 bike, and it looks like the top tube lug is a bit longer on the S.179.E. That must be where the display will sit.

Also, it seems like full bikes and no frame-only options are available. 😞

Yeah, if you wrap it up in a lightweight trail frame, and parts that normally are on ~120mm bikes (EXO Tyres). I’m sure if I put those bits on my 170mm Bosch Gen 5 bikes I would have a 20kg 800w bike too, at least when I tore the tyre off the rim the first time I pushed it into the first corner I hit it would be nice & light to push home 😆

A decent alloy DJI bike has some potential. I don’t need 170mm travel though, which will make it a big, lumbering beast. It might also be the angle of the image, but the ‘range’ picture is giving Pivot vibes where they couldn’t line the shock up with the seat tube, which is UGLY.

Id also be very surprised if its got a 600w battery. That kind of elevation (2000m) out of an Avinox bike is only doable in a turned down Eco & its a pretty miserable experience (unless they have found a 60kg XC whippet to test).
 
I recon I would be pretty interested, I would like to see the details, if its 600w, but you can run a range extender I think that could be ideal.
I would like a MGU ebike, but think that we are probably 4-8years away from them being onto gen 2/3 and being mature as a solution.
 
I feel like given the round downtube it's possible they have designed their own battery rather than using DJI's own designs. I'm not sure the DJI batteries would fit given the pics we've seen so far.
 
So pre orders which can be cancelled go live at midday UK time. But they are waiting on DJI to give them the go ahead to release full motor and battery details. Take from that what you will

The product isn't really ready for launch, but they have a timeline they don't want to deviate from...maybe.
 
The E.170 is our full-power enduro EMTB, developed and tested in the same Dyfi terrain that shapes every Atherton bike. Build 1 gets the full dreambuild: Fox Factory suspension and SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission put this at the top of the tree in our EMTB line up.

Powered by the Avinox drive system and built on our S-Range 7075 aluminium chassis, the E.170 combines compact, high-power assistance with balanced handling and proven durability. Every decision is filtered through the same standards we apply to our race bikes and park bikes, not just what looks good on paper.

The Avinox drive unit was the obvious choice for the Atherton EMTB. The compact motor layout lets us keep geometry and weight distribution exactly where we want them. Power delivery is controlled and predictable, and when it comes to outright torque for tackling the steepest, gnarliest ascents- nothing else comes close.

Rather than chasing maximum battery size, the focus is usable range for real mountain riding, without turning the bike into a heavy, slow-handling machine.

Final capacity figures will be confirmed at launch, but in the Dyfi backcountry, it’s good for around 1,600-2,000 metres of elevation.

The battery is fully housed inside the downtube for protection and clean design. It is not intended for trailside swapping, but can be accessed easily for service or travel. Every frame size uses the same full-capacity battery, no half measures.
