Atomlab (also known as Atomic Laboratories or Atomic Industries) is a brand with roots that trace back to winter of 1996 in the USA. Originally launched as a BMX-only line of products, Atomlab first gained its popularity with its well-received Flatboy pedals. Iconic names from the downhill racing circuit were sporting these components – John Tomac, Myles Rockwell, Missy Giove, Dave Cullinan, Brian Lopes, and Shaun Palmer. This led to the inevitable growth of the company as it developed its mountain bike products.
