Allied Cycle Works
Allied Cycle Works is one of the only bicycle manufacturers producing full carbon frames in the United States. Based in Little Rock, Arkansas, they design and manufacture their own carbon frames domestically — an extraordinary claim in a market dominated by Taiwanese and Chinese production. The result is not just a marketing story but a genuine quality-control advantage: Allied control every aspect of layup, cure, and finishing in-house, and they can iterate designs faster than any brand working through overseas contractors. What Makes Allied Cycle Works Stand Out? The Allied lineup covers road and gravel. The BC40 is a premium all-road carbon bike built for versatility — fast enough for criteriums, capable enough for gravel roads — built on Allied's own Divisadero carbon layup. The Alfa is a pure road racing machine, light and stiff, aimed at competitive club and Cat 1–3 racing. Why Choose Allied Cycle Works? If you care about where your bike is made — and increasing numbers of cyclists do — Allied is the answer. Their domestic manufacturing means tighter tolerances, faster warranty turnaround, and frames that are as good as anything built offshore. They are also genuinely boutique in scale: each frame gets individual attention that volume manufacturers cannot offer. For discerning riders who want something exceptional, Allied is worth every penny of the premium.
