Moulton AM-ATB

Bicycles and Human-Powered Road Vehicles

The Moulton AM-ATB was the off-road bicycle that Alex Moulton introduced in 1988 as a sideways step in the evolution of the AM space-frame design. It was based on a rationalised AM space frame with 20 inch wheels and is credited by the manufacturer as the first full-suspension mountain bike. It found favour in North America as the mountain bike boom took off. The AM-ATB in turn gave rise to the lower-cost APB, the All Purpose Bicycle that Pashley Cycles built under licence from 1992, so it links the high-end space-frame line to the later mass-market Moultons.
