Specialized Allez DSW SL review

Oct 2016

The Specialized Allez DSW SL review is an absolute beast of a privateer racing machine: super-stiff, quick-handling, and a relatively good value, too.

The Allez Sprint is a stiff frame with spot-on race handling that is priced affordably for the crit-racing set.

Specialized Allez SL Comp

Mar 2016 · Nigel Wynn

Can Specialized's latest aluminium Allez frameset give similarly-priced carbon-fibre bikes a run for their money?

Highs
  • High quality, well-finished frameset

  • Super-efficient Shimano 105 drivetrain

  • Decent weight at this price

Lows
  • Would have been nice to see a 105 chainset

  • Brushed aluminium look may not be to everyone's taste
