The playful, efficient, and capable mountain bike from Arkansas brought me so much joy to ride in 2022.

The Allied BC40 is a short travel 29er that's made for long distance singletrack rides and setting personal FKTs. We tested the bike on its home trails in Arkansas.

The BC40 is Allied's new 120mm carbon full suspension trail bike with a racing edge. It is light and competitive even in the face of very stiff competition. And it’s made in the USA.
