Summary
The Specialized Allez Sprint is a race-oriented bike that combines stiffness, efficiency, and aggressive geometry, making it a standout in the aluminum frame category. Its D’Aluisio SmartWeld technology ensures a lightweight yet stiff frame, offering ride quality comparable to carbon frames. While it excels in speed and handling, some reviews note its firm ride and the need for wheel upgrades for competitive racing.

Clever frame construction, good spec, fine performance
Not an all-day option, wheelset doesn’t climb well

The aluminium Specialized Allez DSW SL Sprint Expert aims to take the entry-level road bike into a new, racier era
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.
Jun 2016 · Spencer Powlison
The Allez Sprint is a stiff frame with spot-on race handling that is priced affordably for the crit-racing set.
