Atherton Bikes, with its slogan "Additive manufactured bikes built for you. Race Heritage since 1997," was founded in 2019 by Dan, Gee, and Rachel Atherton in partnership with renowned suspension designer Dave Weagle. This venture integrates the latest additive manufacturing technology to craft a range of bikes that cater to the founders' particular preferences and needs. This approach reflects the Atherton family's unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and innovating within the sports and manufacturing industries.
The company's endeavor is deeply intertwined with the Atherton family's passion for creating something entirely unique, rather than replicating existing concepts. This passion is rooted in Dan Atherton's lifelong dream, originating from his first bike-building experience at the age of 10. The company officially launched on January 25, 2019 - a day chosen to coincide with Dan Atherton's birthday, symbolizing the realization of his childhood dream.
Notably, the latest investment the company secured was a £186.37K Equity Crowdfunding investment, with Crowdcube as the investor, on April 27, 2023. As a manufacturing and sports-centered startup based in the United Kingdom, Atherton Bikes remains poised for further growth and innovation in the industry.
