SPECIALIZED ALLEZ ELITE ROAD BIKE 2021

The Allez is Specialized's entry-level road bike and this Elite model features Shimano 105 shifting and Axis 1.0 caliper brakes. The E5 alloy frame is paired with a carbon fork for a stiff, strong construction together with stable, responsive handling. The FACT carbon also helps to damp vibrations for smoother riding. A versatile geometry suits a range of rider positions, and although it's slightly more relaxed than some, it's still oriented towards performance.

HIGHLIGHTS

Not only does a lightweight bike feel better when you're climbing up a hill, but it's also essential when you're carrying your bike up to the 5th floor, and this was at the forefront of the frame design. With a redesigned E5 Alloy frame, the Allez features a class-leading weight. Aggressively thin-walled, yet tough, tubes have been implemented to save weight and this results in over a 450-gram reduction in the frame and fork alone when compared to some models of yesteryear
Full FACT carbon fibre fork for better handling, smoother riding, and lower weight
Geometry developed by utilising Specialized's vast Retül fit database. This meant creating a geometry that's sure to cover a broad range of positions, while still providing the performance-minded handling you'd expect from your first bike
Integrated rack and mudguard mounts, allowing you to get the weight of your backpack off you and onto a lightweight rack. This not only makes for a good road bike, but it also enables you to transform it into a fast commuter
