What Are You Looking For?
The Specialized Allez is one of the most popular beginner’s road bikes on the market and it’s getting a significant update. The previous model was only available with rim brakes and 28mm tyre clearance, but the new Allez change to disc brakes.The American brand says the switch has been made because disc brakes offer “greater confidence, power and modulation”.
With clearance for 35mm road bike tyres, there is plenty of space for full-length mudguards. Specialized has provided the three standard mounting points at the chainstay bridge, asymmetric seatstay bridge, and just above the axles.
The additional tyre clearance opens up the possibility of using the Allez as a bike for more than just road riding.
While Specialized says the bike is still designed primarily for paved surfaces, it claims it “is surely capable of light-duty gravel, smoothing out rough pavement, and exploring off the typical beaten path”.
Specialized Allez specifications
Specialized says the geometry is based on its Roubaix endurance bike, as well as the outgoing Allez. The stack figure on our 52cm test bike, for example, remains at 552mm.
There are some small changes, however, that make the new Allez geometry more accessible to newer riders. The reach figure of 364mm is 12mm shorter than the old Allez and the head tube angle has been slackened from 73 degrees to 71 degrees.
Added to this more compact ride position is a trail figure that’s up from 55mm to 71mm. This is designed to make the handling more predictable.
