Review: Atherton 130.X - The Lugged Carbon Cruiser
@ponyboy24:
I have two bikes around the 500 reach.
One has 440mm chainstays, the other had 445mm. I much prefer the 440 - its noticable better at cornering and no more stable at high speed…

@andrewbikeguide:
Thanks for the correction, Dad.
Personally I like the geo more on the atherton,
Larger stack and slightly shorter chainstays.
I’d have an arrival 152 though happily!

Review: Atherton 130.X - The Lugged Carbon Cruiser
100% agree.
I’m 6’1.5” / 186cm and in exactly the same boat as you. I’ve found bikes of 480mm reach too small (most large) and 515-520mm reach too big (well I can ride them but they aren’t as fun)
Very few bikes are 500mm reach, but the ones I have found have been spot on….
Its the main reason I’m drewling over an AM170

@Daray: possibly, but when you think people are prepared to buy a normal sized bike that is too big or too small for them why wouldn’t someone who is say a 490 reach buy a used 480 or 500 atherton, when its still probably closer than another bikes next size?

Pinkbike Poll: What's Your Ideal Two Bike Quiver?
Came to say the same thing.
Aggressive hardtail is the main category missing

Nah, these ‘short travel enduro geometry’ are super fun for steep loamy trails

@dualsuspensiondave: agree. 500mm reach with 438-442mm is super fun, which is the intention of these bikes. Not everyone whats a barge that rips in a straight line…
