Sonder signs Lucy Allan, who joins the new Sonder Race Team!

Living in the Lakes, Lucy is used to the demanding terrain of todays modern enduro trails, and over the past few weeks she’s been pushing the Evol to its limits.

We were excited to announce that Lucy Allan had joined our roster of riders for the 2024 season. Living in the Lakes, Lucy was used to the demanding terrain of modern enduro trails, and in the weeks before had been pushing the Evol to its limits.

Usually you’d find Lucy mountain bike guiding in the South Lake District, and any other chance she got, she was off shredding whatever trails she could get her wheels on. She loved all disciplines of cycling and first started racing in Cross-Country MTB, competing at a national level for many years, before transitioning over to the enduro scene, finding the thrill of gravity, trail head socials and good times on the fells with friends.

That season she kicked off her racing at Boltby Bash Enduro. After only a few days of settling into the Evol 160, she showed her true pedigree, taking 1st place in the Senior Women's category.

After the race, Lucy gave us a run down on her thoughts on the Evol:

“I wasn’t sure I would get on with mullet because I’m 5”11ft but still having the 29er up front feels like it rolls well, but it’s nippier around the corners with the smaller back wheel. I have made it down some steeper switch backs that I never did before, so the mullet is a YES from me.”Lucy Allan, Sonder Rider

We couldn’t wait to see how Lucy got on that season, and were right behind her the whole way.
