SRAM XX SL Flight Attendant Bike

Regular price $12,800

Inspired by the legendary Back 40 trail system, designed by our engineers, and built entirely in our Bentonville factory – the BC40 is a modern racing machine that updates the XC playbook with the capabilities of an all-day trail sled. The bike’s 120mm suspension provides a second-to-none pedaling platform anchored by a progressive geometry that delivers precise handling and tracking with stability at speed. The XX SL Flight Attendant build makes it the ultimate racing machine, showcasing the superlative Eagle XX SL and the new Flight Attendant – SRAM’s pinnacle racing technology.

SRAM’s latest Flight Attendant actively learns how you ride and auto-adjusts your suspension on the fly to match. Every change in terrain, every change in gradient, every change in pedaling – you’ll hear your suspension adjust before you even realize it needs to. Flight Attendant maximizes your suspension’s capability to maximize your potential. Learn more about Flight Attendant.

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

Lightweight Frame

When traversing countless steep pitches, weight matters. The target 1950g frame weight is achieved by careful placement of the most advanced composite materials available and countless hours iterating and testing to ensure ride performance, durability and strength are all in perfect balance.

Two Bottle Mounts

Hydration is critical on any long ride or race. The BC40 design allows for a full size bottle on the downtube and small bottle 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.

Made Here

Like all ALLIED bikes, the BC40 is carefully crafted one frame at a time in our headquarters in Bentonville, AR to ensure each bike is built to the highest standard of quality possible.

120mm Travel

BC40 bolsters a full 120mm of travel front and rear with kinematics carefully positioned for pedaling efficiency and easy tunability.

BC40 6000 mile review

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.
