Hands on: Specialized Allez Sprint 2022 Review

Apr 2022 · Will Jones

The Allez Sprint represents a compelling race-ready chassis, with excellent handling, though it could come specced with wider tyres from factory

Highs
  • Fantastic handling

  • Efficient power transfer

  • Aerodynamic alloy frame

Lows
  • The included 26c tyres are too narrow for the frame stiffness

  • Bottle cage bolts rounded off at first use
