Last time we saw photos of the Athertons road riding there was blood and not a helmet in sight. This year though things seem a little different and in a new gallery up on the Atherton’s website, Sven Martin gives us a good insight into Atherton summer training. You can expect a New Zealand one of these soon as Sven will be back here again shortly to document more of mountain biking’s royal family.

Press Release | RockShox Product Announcement MY23
Sram/RockShox – May 27th, 2022
Our new suspension started from a blank sheet of paper. We set everything aside and started with one question: how can we continue to elevate every ride? The result is a revolutionary system designed
to deliver unprecedented control, muscle, and performance. New chassis designed with industry-first damper technology, reinvented air springs, a host of new technologies to mute trail chatter and win the fight against friction. Suspension that has the confidence to meet the demands of riders today and empower them to take the sport somewhere new tomorrow.
