THE ALLY
Lea Davison Limited Edition BC40
“YOU CAN’T BE WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE.”
Lea Davison’s career includes the Olympics, Worlds podiums, and coaching for the US national team. She’s also an inspiration for the modern XC racing characteristics of the BC40, which combines the aggression of a trail bike with the responsiveness of an XC pedaling platform – or as Lea puts it: “These are the best bikes I’ve ever ridden. The BC40 can handle everything I throw at it, and it pushes me to keep pushing it harder. Every ride it’s like ‘Woah! That got spicy real quick’ – and that’s just how I like it.”
Lea’s frame is painted in our limited Ally paint scheme, which celebrates Lea’s career while embodying her contributions as a role model and advocate for women and LGBTQ cyclists in all disciplines, across all age groups. The multi-layered hues are built up and sanded down on the logo to achieve a heat map effect, and the rainbow paint splatter across the otherwise clean white base is a subtle nod to the Pride flag, because – as Lea points out – “You can’t be what you can’t see.”
Key Features

WE RIDE TOGETHER, AND EVERYONE IS WELCOME.
“I was in tears when I got this bike, and I’ve seen it have the same impact on people who don’t typically see themselves represented at the elite level,” Lea said. “To have ALLIED support me being 100% my authentic self, to have them make the first-ever Pride bike that a professional cyclist has raced and ridden – that’s a very cool, very meaningful thing to be a part of.”
