Atherton S170.E Dyf-E bike coming soon...

Preorder live now (got an email 30 mins after signing up) and geometry table for the 12 prebuilt sizes looks decent. Real shame there isn't a frame only option at this pre launch stage.

I would be a little wary regarding the battery. The marketing wording is very "how can we paint this small battery in a positive light?". 1,600-2,000m could have been done on Eco. Small round downtube does not make for ideal battery cell packaging. Happy to be proven wrong but I would be a little wary. Avinox does offer fast charging at least (and maybe a range extender is coming).
 
Luckily for me it's not that far from my Dad so I've just preordered

I'm there about 10-15 times a year and fairly close another 10 times a year....

But at the moment this isn't on my list.
 
Think the pricing is pretty good to be fair, I would have liked a carbon one, but hey thats a decent loooking bike. Only thing you cant see is if there is a DW link suspension set up, which i'm guessing there isnt?
 
Wouldn't be surpised if the battery they have chosen is one that's currently not available in any other bike 😉

Avinox was the only logical option for them really. If I hadn't bought the Forbidden or was still waiting I'd of probably cancelled and preorder a Tier 2 Atherton with the RS spec. It'll ride mega
 
I've ordered one. Let's see what gets revealed. Can always cancel. I'm at dyfi 3 times a month so can pop in now and then to the factory.
 
With the new Amflow bikes allegedly due in April including one model that's meant to be significantly cheaper than current rivals alongside other manufacturer's Avinox powered bikes I can see why Atherton have tried to get pre-orders in ASAP as 2026 is looking like a very busy year for ebikes so we the end user's should be spoilt for choice.

TBH i don't think Atherton are competing for Amflow riders, in the same way they're not competing for Marin riders on their pedal version etc.
Atherton are something you either want or don't.... but they're competing with things like a Crestline, a Pole, a Pivot, not with Amflows.

Completely agree. Which makes the pricing of the dyf-e a very welcome surprise. I think down the line a frame only will happen as well

Nah, Anyone who's looking at an Atherton bike is more than likely not going to give an Amflow a second look.

I wasn't specifically saying the Atherton was competing with the Amflow but there are several other manufacturer's rumoured to be launching more aggressive Enduro style Avinox bikes such as Forbidden, Mondraker and obviously Crestline who have already sold out.
 
Was going to pre-order, then decided against it, but then went back and pre-ordered....
Not sure if its 'right' very short of details, hopefully those of us who have will get the details before the cut off and can cancel and get a refund on the deposit, so no risk really, other than deciding I actually want it, and have to sell a kidney.
