Summary

The Specialized Allez Sprint is a standout aluminium race bike that combines aero optimization with a ride quality reminiscent of carbon frames. It excels in handling and power transfer, making it a favorite for competitive riding, though its stiffness and stock components may detract from comfort and value for some.

Pros
  • One of the best aluminium frames available

  • Excellent handling and power transfer

  • Aerodynamic optimization

  • Good value for money as a capable race bike

  • Improved aerodynamic optimisation

Cons
  • Average wheels and tyres

  • Weight penalty versus similarly priced carbon bikes

  • Stiff frameset can be uncomfortable on rough roads

  • Industrial, utilitarian aesthetic of welds may not appeal to everyone

  • Price is considered high for an aluminium bike

Key Quotes
The 2022 Allez Sprint proves aluminium can still cut it as a material for race bikes.

For those taking their first foray into serious road riding, the Comp build represents a pretty incredible option for a first bike.
Cycling News logoCycling News
This is a superb bike to sprint on (once used to it), as reactive to pedalling efforts as any bike I’ve ridden, and imbued with sensational handling thanks to that Tarmac geometry.

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
