Allied Cycle Works Relies on Autometrix Solutions to Consistently Produce High Quality, High Performance Bicycles<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s no secret that manufacturing is cheaper in China. However, some companies who are committed to crafting innovative, high quality products believe that it\u2019s worth it to keep the manufacturing process local. <\/span>Allied Cycle Works<\/span><\/a> is one of those companies. They design and build high performance road bikes in Little Rock, Arkansas. Not just any road bikes \u2013 these bikes are exquisitely crafted, and Allied produces fewer than 1500 bikes a year. Peloton Magazine<\/a> calls Allied\u2019s Alfa All Road bike \u201cthe most precise, aggressive, and lively \u2018adventure\u2019 bike they\u2019ve ever ridden.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Local Manufacturing Process is a Game Changer<\/b><\/h3>\n

Sam Pickman<\/a>, Allied\u2019s Director of Engineering, believes that manufacturing locally is a huge factor in the high quality of their bikes. \u201cControlling your own manufacturing process allows you to move through development processes really rapidly,\u201d he said. \u201cYou think about your entire process, from design to manufacturing. An engineer who sits next to the manufacturing floor thinks very differently about how he designs a product.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Consistency and Precision are Critical<\/b><\/h3>\n

This control over innovation and production is so important to Allied, their tagline is \u201c<\/span>MADE HERE<\/span>\u00a0MADE RIGHT\u201d. Allied takes great care in their manufacturing process, and they rely on Autometrix cutting machines to produce a consistent, high quality product every time. In working with materials like carbon fiber, precision is critical. \u201cIf you change the angle of a ply by only a handful of degrees, you lose 30% of the performance of that ply,\u201d said Pickman. \u00a0\u201cThe precision with which you place the ply is really important. We get exactly the same performance out of every bike we make.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
