Took the plunge with this bike a few weeks ago, wanted something a little more up to date than my old Trek 1.2. The bike arrived very well packaged from Sigma and took very little time to set up. Wow what a ride, feels so much faster than my old bike and super smooth too. I have put 30mm tyres on tho as the 26’s that it came with felt a bit firm. This is such a comfortable bike too, even if it’s racier geometry, I have done several 100km+ rides without any comfort issues. It did take a couple of rides while playing around with the saddle height/fore aft position to get it just right, but this would be the case with any bike. To sum up, really happy with this bike, really nice to ride & very comfortable and saved a whole load of money over a carbon framed bike!
Product Details
Specialized Allez Sprint Comp Road Bike
Specialized created the all-new Allez Sprint by cannibalizing the Tarmac SL7. They tore the Tarmac apart and rebuilt it from alloy using Smartweld technology. Every innovation and insight from the Tarmac’s development was leveraged to create the all-new Allez Sprint. Whether chasing a National title or attacking friends 15 minutes into an “easy” Sunday spin, it’s understandable if one mistakes the Allez for a Tarmac SL7. Some may call it a carbon copy, but Specialized considers it the World’s First Alloy Super Bike.
The Allez Sprint is the fastest alloy road bike in history, thanks to the time its sibling, the Tarmac SL7, spent in the wind. Details like the most complex alloy head tube Specialized has ever made and integrated cables make it 41 seconds faster over 40km than the previous Allez Sprint. That’s a significant improvement. With those 41 seconds, a podium picture on social media would be within reach.
Specialized Allez Sprint Comp
Whether launching a sprint out of the final corner or attacking from the gun like a young Italian at the Giro, the Allez Sprint, with its one-piece bottom bracket and downtube, delivers the ruthless efficiency of alloy with unprecedented stability. By balancing power at the pedals with input at the bars, the Allez Sprint ensures speed and confidence at the limit.
The Allez Sprint excels in technical descents and close-quarter racing without feeling overly harsh. Dropped seat stays, along with the Tarmac SL7’s carbon seat post and fork, provide suppleness in the saddle and precision at the bars, all while maintaining the Tarmac SL7's World Championship-proven geometry. It is as comfortable as it is visually appealing.
Aerodynamic Allez Sprint
One key innovation that enhances the new Allez Sprint’s aerodynamics, power transfer, and handling is Smartweld. Specialized hydroformed the bottom bracket and downtube from a single piece of alloy, constructed their most complex alloy head tube ever, and assembled it all with Smartweld. This process is what makes the Allez Sprint the first alloy super bike.
