SRAM Rival AXS Bike

Regular price $6,335

At the heart of the ECHO’s genetic code is pure unadulterated speed - the ability to transform from a road race thoroughbred to a versatile, agile gravel bike with a simple switch of flip chips at the front and rear dropouts. These eccentric chips, and corresponding dropout design allow the rider to easily change the bike geometry, effectively changing the chainstay length and fork length by 1 cm. The difference transforms the bike from a road machine with 415mm chainstay length, 368mm fork length, 73-degree headtube angle, and tire clearance for up to a 30mm, to a gravel bike with 425mm chainstay length, 378mm fork length, 72.5mm head tube angle, and 40mm tire clearance - all within a 10-minute switch of dropout chips. Pure road performance one day, gravel race-ready the next. One bike. No compromise.

The ECHO Stem is a fully integrated system designed in tandem with our fork to completely conceal the cables while still using a standard headset, allowing the rider to easily swap stem lengths, and it works with a growing list of handlebars designed with integrated cables in mind. The system is the simplest and most user-friendly on the market. The cables run through a channel on the top of the stem and are concealed by a faceplate, top cap, and the steerer tube. Headset adjustment is moved from the traditional position at the top of the stem to a threaded portion on the bottom of the stem that effectively increases the steerer clamp length to provide headset preload, much like a threaded headset. The Echo stem comes in 6 sizes from 80-130mm in 10mm increments and is a -6 degree. Like everything we do, the stem is MADE HERE in our Bentonville factory. A 100mm stem weighs 184g.

The ECHO isn’t an everyday racing beast. It’s actually two everyday racing beasts, each with a distinct personality. The SRAM Rival AXS brings precision, gear range, and simplicity of AXS to a much more affordable price point than what was possible before with Force. Our standard configuration comes paired with Industry Nine’s sturdy and wide 1/1 GRCX wheels and the all-new WTB Vulpine ultra fast-rolling tubeless gravel tire in 700x40, but you can select the exact wheel and tire combo to build your beast as you please.

TRUE ALL-ROAD.

Eccentric chips in the ECHO’s dropouts transition it from a tight, reactive road-racing machine to gravel versatility with a kicked-out wheelbase and raked-out fork.

ALWAYS TIDY. NEVER CLEAN.

Built in-house and painted to match, our ECHO Stem reduces clamping forces, conceals cables and hoses, and accommodates a growing list of internally routed handlebars. We like our cockpits coated in gravel dust but free of clutter.

2x, 1x, your choice

The ECHO is compatible with all current electric road and gravel drivetrain options from Shimano and SRAM.

They Hit the Nail on the Head

I've always been skeptical about bikes that claim to be more than just a gravel bike or more than just a road bike so I was hesitant to give the Echo a try. However, having spent time on the bike, I can say that Allied has made this, 'best of both worlds' dream that so many people are after, into a reality. Additionally, the fact that the integrated stem is optional just proves that Allied is more about building bikes for people and not the marketing gods. If you on the fence about getting the Echo, get off the fence and get the Echo.

Pretty Good

The bike looks and handles quite well. It's a better road bike than my old road bike in the gravel mode while simultaneously being more capable. That's nice.
I have pretty narrow hips and the junction at the seat post and top tube is wide enough for my legs to constantly rub against it.
The matte black paint scratches incredibly easily. If you drop a chain be very careful pedaling it back on or you may take a huge chunk of the paint right off the frame. Would recommend adhesive frame protection as well.

Love it!

I only got back into serious cycling a couple of years ago, after about a 20 year layoff. My initial bicycle was from a large international brand and was, and is, perfectly serviceable. Like my Subaru SUV. I did a lot of research before investing in my Allied Echo, looking at similarly equipped offerings from the big brands. I even recently had the opportunity to ride a full carbon frame with electronic shifting for a week in California and that was an outstanding experience. All of that said, when my Echo arrived and I put it together - which took all of ten minutes (and would have taken less but some friends wanted to come over and watch her "birth") - and took it for a first spin, I was instantly amazed at how quick she is. During our first ride of any length (40 miles) I could not keep the smile off my face. The first big downhill had me clocked on my Garmin at 39 mph and the machine was totally planted. I felt no wobble whatsoever. If my old bike rides like a Subaru (not a bad thing), this one handles like a Porsche.

And the purchase experience was easy and wholly pleasant. Thanks Cole!
