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.
