The new Specialized Allez builds on its envious reputation as the go-to beginner's road bike with added versatility
Race bike life handling
Predictable overall behaviour
Slick drivetrain
Brake performance was disappointing
Upgrading to a full hydraulic brake system requires upgrading the drivetrain too

The latest iteration of Specialized’s endurance road bike, updated with a more refined suspension cartridge and lighter-weight chassis.
The new Future Shock 3.3 cartridge finally performs the way it should
Wonderfully light and efficient-feeling frame
Excellent tire clearance
Generous mounting options
No-compromise build kit
No headset cable routing
Still compatible with mechanical drivetrains.
Ride quality can still be imbalanced front-to-rear
Goofy headset adjustment procedure
Sky-high stack height
Not exactly the prettiest thing.

For our Specialized Diverge STR Review, Amy Jurries loaded it up for a bikepacking trip across a mix of terrain in Cyprus. Full review here...
Front and rear suspension make for confident riding over rough terrain and comfort for long days in the saddle
No bobbing when out of the saddle or pushing hard
High-end components such as the SRAM AXS Eagle drivetrain with its smooth, precise shifting
Generous tire clearance, allowing for wider tires
Plenty of mounts and internal storage for tools and supplies
Sleek design
Fiddly process to precisely dial in the desired compliance of the Future Shock suspension system at start
The rear suspension requires an adjustment in seatpost height and saddle position compared to your normal gravel setup
Because the Future Shock system isolates the rider, not the frame, the rear suspension won’t drastically improve control on technical descents when standing
Heavier than your average carbon gravel bike
This is a very expensive bike, with some builds costing as much as a used car
Don’t forget your spare batteries
As with all things Specialized, many proprietary parts apart from the drivetrain
