@@Mikipadilla303 I think Rachel has a shot for sure, as far as the men.... The Intense team is going to be pretty tough competition this year I have a feeling.
If there´s any guy and girl in the world i´d believe when he/she says they absolutely wanted the bike to be competitive, it is Gee and Rachel. No doubt that bike will be dialed to perfection when it hits the market. i don´t see them competing on anything that isn´t up there with the best. This new prototype also looks way cleaner with the black lugs. Really looking forward to seeing what they´ll end up with for production and how this whole Atherton bikes thing plays out!
I love it's simplistic tube design it looks like a trail bike with 200mm of travel cutting edge technology and I bet it will be reasonably priced awesome interview bravo Atherton's
I think it looks absolutely amazing. I don't really like weird shaped complex tubing with changing profiles. This looks like something they made out of simple pieces of pipe with absolutely amazing workmanship. Granted, I like the look of welds more than those 2-3 way connecting pieces they used here but can't weld carbon so that's that. Overall this is a fantastic looking bike and the only thing I'd change is the raw metal color of the upper suspension linkage. I'd try to match the fork stanchions or the frame color. Other than that I really dig the colors and shapes. Kudos to the engineers who made such a simple looking linkage setup work up to today's standards.
@@10acebikesjodybennettii19 That would be nice, but I've heard closer to 6K for the frame. Hopefully it'll be somewhere in between as I may be in the market for a new DH bike next year.
Good for all of them! This is a massive leap of faith and huge showcase of the Atherton brand they have built. Truly wish them the best of luck and to have a British atop a British bike at Fort William again would be amazing!!!
I had a bike like that, loved it. It was green. Monster green. It was 2007. It was the incredible, iconic Iron Horse Sunday, and it was awesome. i approuve !
Awesome bike. Really cool to hear how stoked Gee is about it. Love to see the Sunday resurrected. I'd don't ride downhill but I'd definitely be interested in a trail bike with a similar design.
So cool to see these guys realizing their dream. It'll be interesting to see the FINAL version of this bike. Looks pretty "Old School" but that's cool, reminds me of the later Iron Horse DH bikes.
Looks great for muddy riding. The shock and pivots aren't in locations that will get stacked with mud. Also, the lower linkage doesn't form a mud shelf like many other designs do.
The force remains strong in Gee and Rachel, all hail the Rebel Alliance and stick it to the Empire. Good luck in chasing your dreams and an inspiration to all, GO TEAM ATHERTON!!👍👊🎯
She’s a beast! Looking forward to seeing your whole completed line! Am I going to need to change what my dream bike is? I am confidant you are going to put a lot of dream bikes in biker’s homes.
But what is the SEKRIT BREW? I'm soo happy for the Athertons and their partners! Just like the spirit of MTB sport - take the path less traveled! I love the tubular look of the frames and especially the straight edge front/rear triangles. Give us high res desktop/phone wallpaper!
That was the Pivot Phoenix like almost a decade ago which had the exact same suspension setup as the ironhorse hence the name Phoenix. This bike has completely different linkage. You'll notice there are two bottom linkages on this bike and it also has pivots near the axle on the chain stays where as the Iron horse and Pivot have a solid rear triangle attached by an upper and lower linkage system.
Yeah, this bike looks allot like the Sunday. Simple solid triangles, no bullshit. Perfect geometry, though Sam's bike had a 62 degree head angle. This link looks like a modernised version of the DW.
"[This bike] makes you feel quite brave". I'd say the Athertons were fairly big on that front already! Can't wait to see how this translates on the DH circuit this year.
Now that's a bike👍 First thing I noticed was the length, I'm 6'1" and like a nice lengthy, roomy bike. 2.4 on the tire width 🤔 that's what I currently run and love it, seems everyone loves running the wider tires, maybe it's just a "everyone's doing it" factor 😉 Awesome bike👍
these guys know the comfort of riding being with great team previously...so I bet the bike geometry will be aggressive and comfortable to ride at the same time.
here ya go - th-cam.com/video/SeqJ2xveM7k/w-d-xo.html - Gee's Vital RAW on the new bike - still unlisted but savvy youtube comments get the scoop for a bit : )

excellent presentation I realized the professionalism and the experience of being a mountain bike racer. You can see many of them as he mentions with great detail and meticulousness the selection of the feet used to create this bicycle model that, if I may say, has a style that makes me fall in love At first glance and what I like most or what I am very, very picky in the subject of the direction and displacement not only when it declines but in the most important when entering and leaving each curve that is taken in the routes that friend is a 1000pts on my scale of excellence of a mountain bike I give you a gift from here I greet you from San Carlos - Cojedes - Venezuela Land that fights for freedom and addicted to mountain biking
Based on what he said, my guess is it's going to be a while...They're still prototyping the DH bike and season is starting. They're focused on World Cup.
The question that should've been asked, will we be able to choose wheel size and hub spacing? Keep the #26forlife crew happy, the racers chasing 29er speed happy and the people with nice 27.5 parts happy too. Could make for a killer sales concept.
Looks like it performs really great and fast but the doesnt look really good aesthetically. We usually buy bikes that known to ride really well but also looks great and eye catching.
it would be so sick if Gee and Rachel will take the win on the first WC on the Atherton's bike
We know Rachel will man no one can beat her but its up to the boys to bring it home too
@@Mikipadilla303 I think Rachel has a shot for sure, as far as the men.... The Intense team is going to be pretty tough competition this year I have a feeling.
She isn't unbeatable, give Thanee some kudos, she's smashing it more every year and is currently the only real thread for rachy
Well, Rachel did win. Great race as well.
Not just a great looking/ promising bike, but incredibly interesting interview too - so much insight into his own preferences/ riding style.

Exactly my thoughts
@Sean Trigg for a Titanium, carbon bike with Fox 40s on it 6k isn't bad at all
I bet it'll be a total fucking machine, looks awesome, but cheap it won't be.
@@10acebikesjodybennettii19 That would be nice, but I've heard closer to 6K for the frame. Hopefully it'll be somewhere in between as I may be in the market for a new DH bike next year.
Big respect to the Afertons family,Dave (DW-link) and every body who taking part in devoping this beast!
It looks very light with simple shapes - almost not like a DH bike. Looking forward to see how it compares on wc
Good for all of them! This is a massive leap of faith and huge showcase of the Atherton brand they have built. Truly wish them the best of luck and to have a British atop a British bike at Fort William again would be amazing!!!
I would love to see an aggressive hardtail from them. The simplistic design looks amazing!
yes
a dirt jumper would loom pretty cool with that tube work
Love the design. Unique, simple and on point
This is going t o explode when they do an enduro version of that beauty...
id buy one!
dan is riding it in the video : )
@@vitalmtb He must have some connections....
Google "Robot Bike Co R160" or R130.
Looking forward to the trail bikes!
You know this is not a script because you hear "You know" like almost every 30 secs. That bike looks awesome, hope they get top results on season.
Fair play Gee! Cant wait to see this bike smash the tracks this year under the team!
I had a bike like that, loved it. It was green. Monster green. It was 2007. It was the incredible, iconic Iron Horse Sunday, and it was awesome.
i approuve !
Holy Moly !!! very nice , a lot of options BRAVO !
The bike looks amazing! 😍 Love the straight lines and clean look
Love the approach. Built by racers. Incorporating new manufacturing techniques. Can't wait for the season to begin!
Awesome bike. Really cool to hear how stoked Gee is about it. Love to see the Sunday resurrected. I'd don't ride downhill but I'd definitely be interested in a trail bike with a similar design.
That suspension looks sick...ok..saving my pennies...Can't wait to see it in competition...
Ohh yeah . The frame looks super thin well cool .
So cool to see these guys realizing their dream. It'll be interesting to see the FINAL version of this bike. Looks pretty "Old School" but that's cool, reminds me of the later Iron Horse DH bikes.

Awesome a rider that creates his ride..
Clean looking dh beast that will rip I’m sure. Good to see someone’s taking on the giants
I like this.
Really looking forward for a 140ish slack shredding tourer!
Also im quite excited to hopefully see some new tires of conti!
best bikes with the best brakes and the best riders
So cool! I wish you guys the best
Wow that thing is clean. One of the best looking ones imo
it doesn't look like a hardcore downhill bike, it looks really versatile and i love it!
I lived to see what I thought exactly what they would do, create a frame. Perfect. great fan
Didn't realise these bikes would go into full production. So sick
thanks Gee great video, good luck to you and Rachel in the upcoming season :)
The bike looks awesome. I hope all the time and effort pays off for them. 👌🏼
The force remains strong in Gee and Rachel, all hail the Rebel Alliance and stick it to the Empire. Good luck in chasing your dreams and an inspiration to all, GO TEAM ATHERTON!!👍👊🎯

I take it all back!! This bike is looking pretty damn good now. Never release a proto type to the public. People are mean. Lol
Its amazing how complex a mountain bike can be
Nice ride👌natraul peogression for the family,what better way to go than designing and riding your own bikes👍top job
Reincarnation of a iron horse Sunday
Exactly thought the same
That was the Pivot Phoenix like almost a decade ago which had the exact same suspension setup as the ironhorse hence the name Phoenix. This bike has completely different linkage. You'll notice there are two bottom linkages on this bike and it also has pivots near the axle on the chain stays where as the Iron horse and Pivot have a solid rear triangle attached by an upper and lower linkage system.
And that is a good thing!
Yeah, this bike looks allot like the Sunday. Simple solid triangles, no bullshit. Perfect geometry, though Sam's bike had a 62 degree head angle. This link looks like a modernised version of the DW.
That's what I was saying 👍
It looks minimalistic , lite ,and modern,
I don’t know is Gee can win, but certainly Rachel must win.
"Oi call it ther Aftherton Saturdayy.."
where did Dan Atherton go tho, seems like he just lives in a hobbit hole at the hardline course and comes out once a year
Haha he doesn't care about all attention I think
Tanner Valhouli he’s been real busy designing and testing this beast.
@@brookproductions. and the trail bike he was riding at 10:15. I'm more interested in that.
Dan is busy with testing out their new bikes, AND he is busy building the Athertons own bike park ie Dyfi Bike Park in Wales where they live.
dan doesnt enjoy being in the spot light
"[This bike] makes you feel quite brave". I'd say the Athertons were fairly big on that front already! Can't wait to see how this translates on the DH circuit this year.
Very, very cool!
That's how a virtual link should be so refined that you can even see. It's going to be interesting to see where this goes from such refined design.
go and win , Gee!!
Now that's a bike👍 First thing I noticed was the length, I'm 6'1" and like a nice lengthy, roomy bike. 2.4 on the tire width 🤔 that's what I currently run and love it, seems everyone loves running the wider tires, maybe it's just a "everyone's doing it" factor 😉 Awesome bike👍
Threadfit bb!! Yes guys!
Nice DH bike.
I would like to try it. 👍
good luck to the world Cup🥇
Looks awesome! 👌
Every now n then a rig comes along that looks fast as fuck standing still. You know this is gonna rip and look planted AF 🤘🏻
these guys know the comfort of riding being with great team previously...so I bet the bike geometry will be aggressive and comfortable to ride at the same time.
more riding footage please. need more dan shredding

Modern Iron Horse Sunday
now called the Carbon Horse
also arguably one of the best dh bikes ever, good formula
Are these mixed wheels sizes? Looks like a 29r front and 27.5 rear. I sure hope so! Can’t wait for this to be the norm!
Yeah man. Looks mint that does. All the best of luck to you all this season. Kill it! 👊
All it needs to make it a great ride is that gear box, its the perfect match
Awesome looking bike....You know
Best of luck the bike is so sick🤘👍👏
this bike looks sick
What is that little tube just ahead of the rear spring for?

Congrats Atherton!! Is a beautiful dream come true! ^^
But is a Gee brand? or Dan, Rachel and Gee brand?
they started their own brand. read about it here - www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/ATHERTONS-START-BIKE-BRAND,2493
Where have you been hiding bud? Its the family brand name.
@@channingvenegas9984 Yeah is true, i forgot the brand is older than this bike e.e xD
So does the bike they race have to be the production version? I'm not clear on the UCI rules.
Why are the linkage parts not 3D printed? Is there a strength issue?
Is that dry carbon by chance
I wish there were more brands making hardtails that I could dork around on
1:20 man he is strong
Born to win .... !!!
Its looking like it could be a great platform :)
What wheel size? Interesting no tyre inserts.
DW6 it's going to be good or as good as Pivot.
I dream to own one good luck you three 😊
Loving the looks of the bike and hearing the details that go into the design. When can we buy one🤘🚴🏻♂️🤘🚴🏻♂️
When do they release trail or enduro?
Based on what he said, my guess is it's going to be a while...They're still prototyping the DH bike and season is starting. They're focused on World Cup.
This is Amazing!!
sick design!
Está linda, se pensarmos que ainda é um protótipo.
Atherton freeride bike?
I absolutely respect Gee Atherton he's an incredible rider. But im getting a laugh at his tucked in ears to his redbull hat!
Losi haha one of my favorite things action sports athletes do! I don’t get it? Maybe when you’re pro enough you need your ears to be aero also hahaha
when can we have one ? bike built by the legends of downhill.
At first I thought this bike was regular four bar, but now I see it is completely different
Amazing design!
looks so sick but do people still buy dh bikes ?
To have fun mate. You should try riding one yourself sometime.
Interesting stuff thanks
My question is are they going to be reasonably priced? I hope so for us poor folks. I would love to ride/have one
All-mountain/Enduro rig?
cool!!!
Very Nice and beautiful Bike i love
Para mi es una Iron Horse Sunday 2019.
Great too see Atherton's on own bikes, hope things work out, If you would like to run Sealed drive for smoother gearing in mud,
Let me know?
Running inner tubes?
Nobody runs tubes. Especially on Stans rims.
when can i ride one
The question that should've been asked, will we be able to choose wheel size and hub spacing? Keep the #26forlife crew happy, the racers chasing 29er speed happy and the people with nice 27.5 parts happy too. Could make for a killer sales concept.
No reason it wouldn't be possible. The cost of each bike will be very high though at first till the technology to make them gets cheaper.
@@itarry4 I've got no faith in the mtb industry at the moment.... #boost
Looks like it performs really great and fast but the doesnt look really good aesthetically.
We usually buy bikes that known to ride really well but also looks great and eye catching.
My question is, how much he said "you know" in the video.. ✌✌
Well its his own bike so i think he wouldn't say anything bad about it.
I think this bike will be a weapon, designed by riders that can ride.
