LAB BUILT 02 / A170
The Lab Built 02 / A170 It is our vision of an enduro bike that no longer allows excuses. It embodies the core of the Atherton brand: the belief that a bicycle should not be a rigid product, but a tool tailored to the rider.

In the enduro segment, Atherton Bikes pursue a philosophy that has its roots deep in World Cup racing. Through the iconic combination of additively manufactured titanium lugs and highly modular carbon tubes, they have succeeded in translating the agility of a trail bike into a potent enduro format.
Especially on the grueling stages where material and riders push their limits for days on end, the chassis comes into its own: The titanium mufflers offer structural sovereignty and fatigue resistance that are often hard to find in classic carbon monocoques. It is a precision machine for riders who do not tolerate compromise in technical terrain and require a tool that works as smoothly, directly, and quietly as on the first day even after tens of thousands of kilometers of downhill.
Suspension escalation with push
While the frame forms the foundation, it is the chassis that defines the ultimate character of this build. For the Lab Built 02 That is why we chose the absolute best in chassis technology: the duo from the Push Nine.One fork and the Push V/X shock absorber. These pure-bred coil components are known in the scene for their unrivaled linear performance and mechanical consistency. In our lab, we meticulously tuned the characteristic curve of the DW6 chassis to the push V/X to achieve a perfect symbiosis between hardware and kinematics.
The reason for this effort lies in the DNA of the A170The DW6 system excels in providing superior separation between braking forces and suspension damping, and the push elements further enhance this effect to a new level. They generate a finely tuned response that provides mechanical traction even at slow speeds, something that is otherwise only found in heavy downhill bikes at full throttle. The result is a front and rear section that virtually blends with the trail, without losing the necessary resistance in the mid-stroke range for active handling maneuvers.
Product highlights
Technology down to the last detail
The equipment reflects our passion for precious metals. The Cane Creek eeWings Titan Crank offers a stiffness that transforms every pedal rotation into direct propulsion. That Ochain WC Limited System This ensures that the chassis operates completely freely in rough terrain passages, without pedal kickback disrupting the rhythm. The Hope Tech4 E4 Brakes provide the necessary dosageability for surgical line selections, while the Crank Brothers Synthesis Road Bikes complete the package with their specific Flex option.
Conclusion
The Lab Built 02 / A170 It is the successful symbiosis of one of the most advanced chassis systems on the market and a chassis that has been consistently developed for the harsh demands of modern enduro racing. Here, technological precision merges with functional excellence – as a consistent foundation for safely leaving one’s comfort zone and pushing the limits on the trail with control. It is the realization of a setup that translates technical craftsmanship into pure sovereignty.
