2021 Specialized Allez Sprint Comp Disc Road Bike - Gloss Aluminium

Being the most advanced alloy road bike, and one that often out-performs the carbon fibre bikes of other brands, the Allez Sprint is capable as a crit-racing tool or an everyday road steed. Furthermore, it performs all of the above at a price that's affordable for any racer's budget. This Allez meshes performance and value with Shimano 105 shifting and hydraulic disc brakes, DT R470 Disc alloy wheels, and a fan-favourite Body Geometry Power saddle.

At the heart of the Allez Sprint is D'Aluisio Smartweld Technology, which strategically places more welding material where it's needed, resulting in an aluminium bike that's more compliant and considerably stiffer. It's the stiffest alloy bike Specialized have ever tested, let alone made. Drawing inspiration from the Rider-First Engineered™ Tarmac, this frame also has a unique down tube, bottom bracket shell, and head tube, plus fork sizes that correspond to frame size. This ensures uniform performance across the entire size run.

So that every single watt you produce gets transferred to the road, it features short chainstays that create an extremely stiff and rigid rear triangle. It goes beyond just pure rigidity, as the hydroformed tube shapes have also been aerodynamically optimised to slice through the wind, while also providing loads of built-in compliance.

Specialized's top-tier Tarmac Disc FACT carbon fibre fork provides incredible stiffness and front-end steering response, while also efficiently absorbing road chatter.
