In the realm of entry-level road bikes, the Specialized Allez Road Bike sets a new standard, refusing to compromise on quality for affordability. With a relentless focus on weight reduction, refinement, and reliability, the Allez brings advanced technologies within reach of every rider. Whether you're embarking on your first road cycling adventure, commuting to work, or seeking a versatile new bike, the Allez delivers unmatched performance and adaptability.
This iteration of the Allez showcases SRAM's Rival 22 shifting system for exceptional performance and value, complemented by durable DT R460 alloy wheels, the ultra-comfortable Body Geometry Bridge saddle, and robust RoadSport tyres for added protection.
Recognising the importance of a lightweight build, the Allez's redesigned E5 Alloy frame prioritises weight reduction without compromising strength. By employing aggressively thin-walled tubes, the frame sheds over 450g (1-pound) when compared to older models, ensuring a nimble and efficient ride experience.
Unlike many entry-level bikes that feature subpar alloy or inexpensive carbon fibre forks, the Allez boasts a full FACT carbon fibre fork. This enhancement translates to superior handling, smoother rides, and reduced weight, allowing the bike to effortlessly glide over rough terrain and navigate corners with precision.
Drawing upon Specialized's extensive Retül fit database, the Allez's geometry is meticulously crafted to accommodate a wide range of rider positions while maintaining the agile, performance-oriented handling expected of a first bike.
Furthermore, the Allez comes equipped with integrated rack and mudguard mounts, enabling riders to transfer weight from backpacks to lightweight racks. This versatility not only enhances the bike's suitability for road riding but also transforms it into a swift and efficient commuter.
