Because the 600 is too small and the 800 too big?
Atherton S170.E Dyf-E bike coming soon...

Unless the “7” is a typo and should be a “/“.
As in either or size. It would seem a bit Goldilocks to be asked to choose such a short range of battery, albeit Atherton offer loads of frame sizes so maybe continues the theme of customisable exactly to the buyer’s needs.

Someone forgot to hit the shift key!
Rumours are that the 600 is being replaced by 700 but with the same/similar weight, not long to go now though
I don’t think they would make a batt just
dealers going to see the new bike tomorrow
All rumors, nothing is confirmed. Despite what anyone says

It also feels like there is a big influx of new users that are asking questions that have been discussed over and over for the past months here. I imagine a lot of people have been getting limited info from their bike shops, and when they go online for more details they get sent here due to the lack of official news.
From what I have been told the bike shops have had to sign very strict NDAs.
The whole DJI embargo thing is getting a bit daft, looks like Megamo have "leaked" the specs for the M2s at core bike show. Crestline are telling people to note it on the order if they want a battery in-between 6 and 800. Thomus have demo bikes out with the M2S that people are riding. It just seems pretty ridiculous at this point, but typical DJI if you know the drones.
Must be frustrating for Atherton and customers

Why would you blame dji for this? They set a date for the information to be released. I’m sure these brands were told to not hint or mention anything about said upcoming products. They could have waited for the release to design the bike around it if it frustrated them.
The bike companies are teasing us, not so much Avinox imo. And that’s to build interest and get us talking I guess. Kinda fun in a way.
Only the same as every other brand.
You can understand when you have a new product with a set release date which is set for marketing reasons and so everyone starts the race at the same time.
Yes, things leak accidentally sometimes, Look at Spesh, they've had some of the worst leaks ever - some so bad that it almost looked like they leaked on purpose to get extra excitement going !
We're just impatient and want now now now ..
Once you've been through it a few times, is it not better to wait sometimes and find out ? Makes it a bit more like Christmas when you're a child (Obviously Santa still exists before I tread on anyones toes
)As someone who knows all the details, it removes the excitement of a launch and you just try and trickle bits discretely or hide them away in other posts .... until the mods delete them...
Well I'm not sure if some of its orchestrated by DJI, but I'm not blaming them. Its daft the way it's being broken / abused by some companies like Megamo/Thomus to put the spotlight on themselves.
As Zimmerframe has said it's detracting from the reveal on the 9th
Shame really, it’s nice to have a surprise. No doubt some makers want to get the spot light on their products first.
Yeah I get that. I doubt dji/avinox told them to leak that though lol. That’s on them. Enjoy the excitement though! Happens in every industry.
We could just put it all here and hide it in a spoiler ??
ok, no, I'm not going to ruin it for everyone But if anyone was from the era of Trainspotting and remembered Underworld - Born Slippy, this is the best remix I've heard it it .. Sorry, feck all to do with the Atherton, but I will say it's not a 600wh battery. In the meantime, enjoy...

I do think DJI themselves made a poor choice in trying to delay the announcement until the bikes are ready to ship. On the one hand you have the inevitable situation now where loads of brands have the bikes ready, let alone the marketing materials, so of course stuff is going to leak. On the other hand, how are people expected to put down over 10k for Crestlines or Atherton bikes while being told "you'll have to wait and see what motor and battery you get".
Just a press release of the high level specs of the system in January or February with an expected street date would have made most brands' lives so much easier...

A lot more mellow than my hazey recollection and it doesn't have nighttrain mixed over it.We could just put it all here and hide it in a spoiler ??

I'm looking forward to the surprise of my M2S equipped 720Wh S170e with 130Nm and 1300w to burn through it quicker than that that track was over..
If you go back historically though, people wouldn't even propose their bike until the motor/battery was actually released. In this case we have some smaller companies who need to start gaining traction/getting some money back into development ASAP so we have this sort of pre-release. Not dissimilar to the automotive world where there is a proposed product without specifics for you to put your deposit down on until they finish development and you hope you get what you imagined/was hinted at.
In this case at least you have the M1 base line, which is pretty much the ideal/more than you need already for most people and you know you'll be getting more - so does it matter ? We don't ride at 100% of motor output 100% of the time.
I don’t think I have
i think that DJI have played a blinder the way they have gone about the release of the new bike and motor. Discounts the old stock to sell out quickly in an orderly manner .Kept dealers on tight NDAs until the release date, but allowed manufacturers access to the motor and battery prior to this so they can get bikes production ready shortly after the embargo is lifted.That’s how I should be done. Not delay the bike a year for fear of price crashes on existing stock and allowing others to bring out much better systems, so when its does come out it’s already dead in the water and use customers as part of RnD team.Only a few weeks now until the 9th.

You still in the 600W battery camp?
600w won’t work for me sadlyYou still in the 600W battery camp?
i meant you still think the smaller size battery will be 600w rather than 700w, either way not long now
Ah,i meant you still think the smaller size battery will be 600w rather than 700w, either way not long now
It looks like the small one is 700w now…?
Where did you see this?
On the AMflow screen shot of the new bike before it was taken down

700wh confirmed

But there a bigger one also? As I recall reading that Ath said that they didn’t chase the larger batt. So if 700 is the new 800 what is the smaller one referring to?
700 will be new smallest one imo. Largest will be 900
