I have de 2008 model, and I realy think they messed up.The bike was so nice, why did they do this?

Its not a nice as the 2007 model by far, but apparently it has an inch more travel, lower centre of gravity and it has been beefed up to last longer than the 2007 bike.

To DAMZ: The Athertons will be using it the 2008 racing season, therefore its a 2008 bike.

It's a 2009 bike. It will be released as a 2009 bike mid to late summer just like all the other companies do. The reason for the slack angle is the shock is too short, waiting for a longer one to be fitted. It's just for the photo.

olynch (May 26, 2008 at 11:33)

i can only think they they have put a too smaller shock on it, because maybe its personal preference of the athertons, gods know why u would want that lol?
