Specialized Allez Road Bike in Dune White

Specialized Allez Road Bicycle​ in Dune White

The Specialized Allez has always had a reputation for punching above its weight, and this generation makes that case more convincingly than ever. Built around a premium butted E5 alloy frame that tips the scales at just 1,375g, it's the lightest in its class, and with a full carbon fork up front, it rides noticeably better than the price suggests.

The geometry comes straight from the Roubaix lineage, so you get endurance positioning that keeps you comfortable over long miles without blunting the handling on twistier roads. It still dissects a winding climb or a fast descent with the precision you'd want from a dedicated road bike.

What it covers:

• E5 alloy frame with carbon fork - the stiffness-to-weight ratio is genuinely impressive, and the fork smooths out road vibration without adding flex where you don't want it
  
  
• Shimano drivetrain with 50-34 chainrings and 11-39 cassette - wide enough to spin comfortably up steep commuter climbs or stay with a fast group ride on the flat
  
  
• Dual-piston disc brakes with 160mm rotors - reliable, progressive stopping in all weathers, which on UK roads matters for most of the year
  
  
• 35mm tyre clearance (32mm with mudguards), plus hidden rack and mudguard mounts, so the white Specialized Allez works just as well on a wet Monday commute as it does on a weekend sportive
  
  
• 30mm tyres as standard for lower pressures, a bigger contact patch, and noticeably more comfort on rough tarmac

For anyone searching for a Specialized road bike that covers racing, sport riding, commuting, and light gravel without needing a different machine for each, the Allez makes a compelling case!
