Summary

The Allied Alfa is praised for its balanced blend of comfort, stiffness, aerodynamics, and ride quality, making it a versatile endurance bike suitable for everyday riding, climbing, and descending. Its American-made carbon frames and forks, along with high-end paint jobs and the option for custom builds, stand out. However, its high price point and compatibility limited to electronic drivetrains are noted drawbacks.

Pros
  • Balanced blend of comfort, stiffness, aerodynamics, and ride quality

  • American-made carbon frames and forks

  • High-end paint jobs and custom build options

  • Stiff bottom bracket junction for efficient power transfer

  • Race geometry with stack-height options

Cons
  • High price point starting at $5,500 for framesets

  • Only compatible with electronic drivetrains

  • Requires use of proprietary stem

The bike is nimble. A stiff bottom bracket junction means you stand up to stomp and the bike shoots forward instead of flexing side to side.

Allied operates on the belief that at least some of us want a bike with race handling that isn’t built for a 20-year-old’s flexible back.
