BC40 SRAM XO-1 AXS XL

The team at Allied was great and kept me informed during the order/build process. The product far exceeded my expectations. That Harlequin purple/green is gorgeous, and component build with XX SL, and Flight Attendant makes the bike fly uphill. It is amazing how efficient this bike is, and at the same time comfortable. I would highly recommend the BC40, as well as any purchase from the amazing team at Allied.

As I pedaled through the winding trails of Bentonville, the Allied BC40 became my trusty steed. Its sleek design, precision engineering, and responsive handling made every twist and turn an absolute joy. The trail seemed to come alive beneath me, and I couldn’t help but grin as I tackled each obstacle.

But it wasn’t just the ride on this demo bike that left me in awe—it was the story behind the bike. Shane, from Allied Cycle Works, provided a fantastic tour of their manufacturing facility as these are made right here in the USA. As someone who values US manufacturing, this struck a chord with me. Allied’s commitment to quality, innovation, and supporting American jobs is commendable.

The Allied BC40 isn’t just a bike; it’s a testament to American craftsmanship. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a newbie hitting the trails, this bike will elevate your experience. Kudos to Allied for bringing manufacturing home and creating bikes that inspire adventure!

I bought my BC40 as a frameset just about a year ago and have put 6000 miles on it. I built it up with Trickstuff C44 brakes, Royal Control SL Wheelset, SRAM XXL Transmission, Gemini Integrated Bar and Fox suspension and fork. I love the bike. The geometry fits me perfectly, balances my weight in a perfect triangle over seat and handlebar. Without pedals - the setup is right about 10kg. The BC40 is very efficient, yet comfortable. I did the 24hour MOAT last year and was shocked how comfortable the bike held up (3D Specialized saddle helps too). I would highly recommend the BC40.

This is a fantastic bike I would recommend it is a little pricey but it has electric everything and its so pretty rides super good

This bike is super comfortable. Longer rides just seem easier. I did change the seat and went with the Reserve wheels. Changed the tires to the Mezcal’s. Also I’m not a dropper guy so opted for a carbon seat post. With these changes the bike dropped to 24 pounds even with bottle cage and Shimano XTR pedals. Fit and finish is like a high end sports car. I probably have a couple hundred miles on it now and I’m still excited to get on it. If you need a new bike “this is it”
I’m 5.11 and size Large seems perfect.
