The American Kate Courtney revealed a few days ago that in 2025 she will compete with her own team, She Sends Racing, and now she announces the brands that will support her this season. Among them stands out the American bicycle manufacturer ALLIED, which will debut for the first time in the XCO World Cup alongside Courtney.

This is Kate Courtney's ALLIED BC40 for 2025

After several years on the SCOTT SRAM team, Kate Courtney has started a new stage in which she has created an independent project with which she will compete at the highest level. She Sends Racing is the competition structure created from the non-profit organization she herself created a few years ago with the aim of supporting women and girls through cycling.

Now, the champion has confirmed that her team will ride bikes from the American brand Allied Cycle Works, based in Arkansas. A manufacturer little known outside of North America and that for the first time will be in the XCO World Cup.

Kate Courtney and the She Sends Racing team will use the ALLIED BC40 model, a double suspension mountain bike designed, and recently updated for the current XCO.

"I am excited to partner with Allied and compete with the renewed BC40 this season". "The opportunity to be the first to bring this American brand to the starting line of the World Cup is an honor that I could not pass up. I am impressed with the performance of the bike and with the passionate people behind its development". Courtney said about her new bike.

This ALLIED BC40 has a travel of 120mm with a single pivot rear suspension system. In its latest update, the manufacturer managed to cut the weight of the rear triangle by 100g while making it stiffer. In short, it seems like a lightweight, responsive, and capable model, perfect for the current World Cup circuits.

In the first images, it can be seen that Courtney will ride Rock Shox suspensions and all the electronic components of the SRAM group, but she seems determined not to use, for now, the Flight Attendant electronic suspensions.

In addition to the Allied bikes, Courtney announced that the She Sends Racing team will have two other important sponsors such as the electric car brand Rivian, and the renowned clothing brand Rapha.
