Ex-Demo: Specialized Allez Sprint Comp Disc Road Bike - 54cm

As this is not a brand new bike, it may not feature the full original technical specification and is subject to change.

Whether you're high-speed crit racing, everyday road riding or have your own style, disc brakes make it better, especially now they feature on the Allez Sprint.

Disc brakes bring better stopping power, more modulation, and more control to your ride, and when you combine that with the durability, aerodynamics, and ride quality that the Allez is known for, you get something pretty special. You get the Allez Sprint Comp Disc.

At the heart of the Allez Sprint is Specialized's 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 they've 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.

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

The build is spec'd with Shimano 105 shifting and hydraulic disc brakes, DT R470 Disc alloy wheels, and a comfortable Body Geometry Toupé saddle. With all of these features, the Allez Sprint Comp Disc redefines the potential of an alloy bike, so much so, that you'll forget you're not riding carbon.

• E5 Premium aluminium frame with Allez D'Aluisio Smartweld Sprint Technology refocuses weld locations, allowing for more material to be placed strategically for increased stiffness and compliance where you need it most.
• The top-tier Tarmac Disc FACT carbon fibre fork provides incredible stiffness and front-end steering response, while also efficiently absorbing road chatter.
• Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes provide both superior stopping power and modulation when compared to their rim counterparts.
