Over two years in the making. Thoughtfully designed for speed, agility, and beauty. Painstakingly tested and refined on the iconic singletrack in our own backyard. Made entirely here in the United States, by us, with unparalleled precision and passion. Inspired by the legendary Back 40 trail system. Meet the new BC40, a thoughtfully engineered modern cross-country machine, mixed with an all-day trail sled. A plush 120mm of front and rear travel combined with a second-to-none pedaling platform and progressive geometry delivers precise speed, handling, and tracking for the needs of the modern trail shredder. 

  • In-house development and testing, including building our own testing methodology and machines, and tearing apart our competitors' bikes to weigh every part and benchmark performance. 
  • Designed to stretch the capability of what a cross-country bike can do while making no compromises with weight and pedaling efficiency.  
  • Every piece of carbon is meticulously cut, stacked, formed, and molded to hit the highest possible quality standard. 
  • Aluminum suspension linkage and floating brake mount machined in-house to ensure the highest precision for fitment and alignment. 
  • Built to exceed the expectations of multi-time Olympians and national champions, for ultimate performance at the highest level of competition.
  • Inspired by decades of riding and racing, and purpose-built for the hundreds of miles of trails in our backyard.

Key Features

FRAMESET WEIGHT
1950 grams (Lrg)
GEOMETRY
A slacker front headtube angle for predictable handling at speed across buff and technical terrain. A longer front-to-center measurement shifts the weight of the rider further behind the front wheel for more control to maneuver at high speeds.
SUSPENSION
Designed for 120mm front and rear travel, can be adjusted down to 100mm for optimal terrain performance. Faux bar system (four bar flex stay) kinematic designed for pedaling efficiency.
COMPATIBILITY
Cable management at the headtube allows for easy compatibility across components, including dropper posts and remote lockouts.
BOTTLE MOUNTS
Capable of carrying 2, 1 on the downtube and 1 on the seat tube

Aggressive Geometry

The needs and capabilities of a modern cross country bike have completely evolved. BC40 pushes the envelope of race worthy bikes with a 66.5 degree headtube angle and 76 degree seat tube angle to allow you to optimize your weight well behind the front wheel for descending and further forward when climbing in the saddle.

All Day Epic XC!

So let me tell you about the BC 40! In one word...AMAZING! I'm 54 years old and have been riding for 26 years. I've ridden hard tails, full supsensions, race aggressive XC bikes, aluminum, carbon, Ti, Steel, single speed, 1x, you name it. This bike is absolutely the best. It is an all-day-epic-trail-XC ripping steed! Seriously, you can ride this bike at race pace for a LONG time. It is so comfortable but certainly race worthy. I also ride a Trek Supercaliber and while they are much different bikes, this is my go to for when I want to go put in a long ride. Get one and you will not be disappointed! And the build quality is unreal. Made In America is all you need to know! Cheers!
