Bentonville, Arkansas, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allied Cycle Works, the Arkansas-based manufacturer of high-performance bicycles, is proud to announce the signing of American cross-country mountain bike champion Kate Courtney and her She Sends Racing program. She Sends Racing is Courtney’s newly launched, mission-driven privateer program. Its aim is to raise awareness for the She Sends Foundation, a non-profit established in 2023 to connect, support, and inspire women and girls through mountain biking.

With this exciting news, ALLIED is unveiling an updated version of their award-winning BC40 mountain bike and introducing DUET, an innovative new lightweight handlebar and stem combination. Kate Courtney will race the 2025 season on this cutting-edge setup, designed to push the limits of speed and performance.

Courtney has long been a dominant force in cross-country mountain biking. She is the 2018 UCI Mountain Bike World Champion, Tokyo 2020 Olympian, and two-time U.S. National Champion. Her gold medal win at the 2018 World Championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland marked the first American victory in the Elite women’s race since 2001, an historic accomplishment that solidified her place among the sport’s best. Now, as part of the ALLIED family, Courtney will take on the world’s most challenging courses aboard the updated BC40.

The newly evolved BC40 features a 100-gram reduction in frame weight, further refining its class-leading performance. Additionally, ALLIED is launching a groundbreaking lightweight handlebar and stem combination, debuting on Courtney’s BC40. This system sets a new standard for both weight reduction and design innovation.
