Summary
The Specialized Allez is celebrated as a versatile, entry-level endurance road bike that combines a budget-friendly price with a quality ride. Its aluminum frame and full carbon fork contribute to a solid and stable ride, suitable for a wide range of riders. While it excels in comfort and handling, some reviews note limitations in gear shifting and braking performance.
Versatile bike at a budget-friendly price
Aluminum frame and full carbon fork
Suitable geometry for a wide range of riders
Comfortable riding position
Good range for climbing and speed
Larger jump between gears can make it harder to find the right gear
Gears shift a little slower and more noisily than higher-speed systems
Average brakes performance
The Allez really started my love for cycling, and riding it again reminded me why.Bicycling
It’s small details like this that make a bike a joy to ride, not least because it’s comfortable but also because it looks great.
Cycling WeeklyThe bike is fast to accelerate, holds its speed with ease and handles in corners and on descents like a machine costing four times its sub-£1,000 pricetag.

Specialized steps up to aid Australian fire relief with the Budgie-themed aluminum Allez, ridden by Deceuninck-Quick-Step and Bora-Hansgrohe.

The Big S’s radically revamped Allez Elite now has even more all-round appeal
Practical, versatile, well equipped and with a class-leading all-round ride
I’d have preferred Shimano 105 brakes
Apr 2019 · Rupert Radley
The Specialized Allez is a versatile entry-level bike with a great ride quality and the potential to be upgraded
Superb quality frame
Confidence and stable ride
Shimano Claris hoods are very comfortable
Full carbon fork
Wide ratio cassette means clunky shifting
Budget brakes
Sluggish wheels

Slovakian Champion was racing without the rainbow stripes for the first time in three years at the Down Under Classic in Adelaide

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?
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
Handles superbly
Looks great
Excellent value
Good for year round riding
The brakes are not good and should be replaced with Shimano
Possibly a 5* bike with proper callipers

A more-rounded and versatile Allez without compromising fun, it's now a possible fast winter trainer too
Apr 2018 · Joe Lindsey
This snappy little road bike is one of our favorite bikes at any price
