The elevated stays are a thing of the past as the all-new ALLIED ABLE hits the ground with the latest gravel trickery we expect from the American brand. Building carbon frames in the United States is a rarity, but ALLIED continues to lead out with innovation, sleek designs and pure function in their small (but mighty) product line.
The oldest model in the ALLIED line has been the ABLE and it was looking dated. With advances in frame design and a desire to roll wider rubber across all the types of “gravel” terrain we’re riding these days, the all-new ABLE both looks stellar and promises added versatility. When speaking of versatility, we’re talking monster 700×57 tire clearance (HUGE). Of course, it has the latest integration trends and is offered in a wide variety of standard or custom paint to suit your tastes and budget.
What continues to drive the demand for more and more tire clearance, you ask?
“Gravel racing is evolving at an incredible pace, pushing bikes and riders harder than ever,” said Drew Medlock, CEO of Allied Cycle Works. “The new ABLE was born from that evolution, built to thrive on the most demanding courses, where speed, durability, and adaptability are paramount. With massive tire clearance, integrated storage, and precision handling, ABLE empowers riders to push their limits across any terrain.”
While it does offer monster tire clearance, ALLIED is passing on aero tube shapes in favor of comfort and speed. And the last kicker… it’s made overseas, not in Arkansas (bummer for those who want to continue supporting US-made carbon). Here are a few more detail shots of the new frameset.
The new ABLE is available today in SRAM RED XPLR AXS ($11,500) and FORCE ($8400) or RIVAL AXS Mullet ($6775) builds or as a frameset ($4500).
