Is Deviate in trouble? No e-bikes have been received by shops, thought they were scheduled for early November? Everything on the website is āsold outā even the spare parts. I donāt like the look of it. Thoughts?
Or maybe it was just one off accident? How many years have Atherton been making dh bikes racing WC and Hardline, crazy Gee lines, etc and this is the first one to break like that?
The rider in question is George Madley Athertons junior rider. The part I am now finding interesting is that the original instagram video has now disappeared off the face of the planet. Also he did run off with the bike after winning British champs by 6 seconds on said bike.
Could it be a weakness with lugged bikes in general? The straight carbon tubes being the weakness with strong titanium lugs? I donāt think teams do themselves many favours by hiding the bikes or trying to dismiss that itās happened. I have attached a much clearer photo
100% correct but if you watch the Scottish downhill Associations video he books it out of there even though heās just won. Although he landed to flat he still didnāt land any harder than other racers
It looks like an atherton bike has completely failed during British champs, was sat at the finnish and the bikes rear end snapped after landing to flat.
