Specialized Allez E5 2020 Road Bike Purple - 49cm

Product Description

About the Specialized Allez All too often, corners are cut to meet price-points in the entry-level road bike market, but the Specialized Allez redefines what it means to be "entry level." Focusing on weight, refinement, & reliability like nothing else in its class, the Allez is the first to make these technologies accessible to everyone. Whether you're just getting into road cycling, commuting, or looking for a new bike, the Allez is just as performance-packed as it is versatile. Not only does a lightweight bike feel better when you're climbing up a hill, but it's also essential when you're carrying your bike up to the 5th floor, & this was at the forefront of the frame design. With a redesigned E5 Alloy frame, the Allez features a class-leading weight. Aggressively thin-walled, yet tough, tubes have been implemented to save weight & this results in over a 450g (1-pound) reduction in the frame & fork alone when compared to some models of yesteryear. Entry-level road bikes often times feature either alloy or cheap carbon fibre forks that greatly detract from the overall ride quality. But with a full FACT carbon fibre fork, the Allez is better handling, smoother riding, & lower in weight—floating over rough chip-seal & carving through corners like a slalom skier. For the geometry, Specialized developed the Allez by utilizing our vast Retül fit database. This meant creating a geometry that's sure to cover a broad range of positions, while still providing the performance-minded handling you'd expect from your first bike. This Allez also features integrated rack & fender mounts, allowing you to get weight of your backpack off you & onto a lightweight rack. This not only makes for a good road bike, but it also enables you to transform it into a fast commuter.
