Allez Sprint Comp Road Bike

Specialized Allez Sprint Comp Road Bike

Specialized created the all-new Allez Sprint by cannibalizing the Tarmac SL7. They tore the Tarmac apart and rebuilt it from alloy using Smartweld technology. Every innovation and insight from the Tarmac’s development was leveraged to create the all-new Allez Sprint. Whether chasing a National title or attacking friends 15 minutes into an “easy” Sunday spin, it’s understandable if one mistakes the Allez for a Tarmac SL7. Some may call it a carbon copy, but Specialized considers it the World’s First Alloy Super Bike.

The Allez Sprint is the fastest alloy road bike in history, thanks to the time its sibling, the Tarmac SL7, spent in the wind. Details like the most complex alloy head tube Specialized has ever made and integrated cables make it 41 seconds faster over 40km than the previous Allez Sprint. That’s a significant improvement. With those 41 seconds, a podium picture on social media would be within reach.

Whether launching a sprint out of the final corner or attacking from the gun like a young Italian at the Giro, the Allez Sprint, with its one-piece bottom bracket and downtube, delivers the ruthless efficiency of alloy with unprecedented stability. By balancing power at the pedals with input at the bars, the Allez Sprint ensures speed and confidence at the limit.

The Allez Sprint excels in technical descents and close-quarter racing without feeling overly harsh. Dropped seat stays, along with the Tarmac SL7’s carbon seat post and fork, provide suppleness in the saddle and precision at the bars, all while maintaining the Tarmac SL7's World Championship-proven geometry. It is as comfortable as it is visually appealing.

Aerodynamic Allez Sprint

One key innovation that enhances the new Allez Sprint’s aerodynamics, power transfer, and handling is Smartweld. Specialized hydroformed the bottom bracket and downtube from a single piece of alloy, constructed their most complex alloy head tube ever, and assembled it all with Smartweld. This process is what makes the Allez Sprint the first alloy super bike.
