Specialized Allez Sprint Comp Review

Aug 2018 · Benjamin Topf

Raw aluminium, smart welds, and an aero seatpost. Can the € 1,799 Specialized Allez Sprint Comp do its stealth look justice in our practical tests?

Specialized Allez Elite Red Hook review

Aug 2018 · Jack Elton-Walters

An excellent bike that belies its low price tag; a machine capable of year round riding from sportives to long days out and even crit races

Highs
  • Handles superbly

  • Looks great

  • Excellent value

  • Good for year round riding

Lows
  • The brakes are not good and should be replaced with Shimano

  • Possibly a 5* bike with proper callipers
