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.

COMPATIBILITY
Cable management at the headtube allows for easy compatibility across components, including dropper posts and remote lockouts.

A Ride to Remember

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!

Everything you need.

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.
