2021 Specialized Allez Road Bike Specialized Allez Road Bike 2021 The Allez Road Bike from Specialized is ideal for a first foray into road cycling, whether for commuting, weekend exploring or sportives. The E5 Premium Aluminium frame uses SmoothWelds and internal cable routing for a lovely clean look and improved aerodynamics. Both the frame and the carbon fork have eyelets to make fitting mudguards a straightforward job to enable all-weather use. With the 8-speed Shimano Claris drivetrain matching the 50-34 tooth chainset with an 11-32 tooth SunRace cassette, there is a very wide range of ratios available, with the lowest gear making even steep hills rideable. Gear changes are facilitated using the dual-purpose Claris brake and shift levers meaning that control is easy to maintain at all times as gear changes are made without the need for hands to leave the handlebar. ##Features * Specialized E5 Premium Aluminium frame with SmoothWelds, internal cable routing and mudguard eyelets * Specialized FACT carbon fork with mudguard eyelets * Shimano Claris, 8-speed drivetrain with SunRace 11-32 tooth cassetteSPECIFICATIONS:FRAME: Specialized E5 Premium Aluminium, fully manipulated tubing with SmoothWelds, 1-1/8"- 1-3/8" tapered head tube, internal cable routing, threaded BB, 130mm spacingFORK: Specialized FACT carbon, 1-1/8" to 1-3/8" taper, mudguard eyeletsSTEM: Specialized, 3D-forged alloy, 4-bolt, 7-degree riseHANDLEBAR: Specialized Shallow Drop, 6061, 70x125mm, 31.8mm clampFRONT BRAKE: Tektro, alloy, dual-pivotREAR BRAKE: Tektro, alloy, dual-pivotBRAKE LEVERS: Shimano Claris 2000FRONT DERAILLEUR: Shimano Claris, clamp-onREAR DERAILLEUR: Shimano Claris, 8-speedSHIFT LEVERS: Shimano Claris 2000, 8-speedCASSETTE: SunRace, 8-speed, 11-32tCRANKSET: Shimano Claris R200, 50/34tFRONT WHEEL: Axis SportREAR WHEEL: Axis SportFRONT TYRE: Specialized Espoir Sport, 60 TPI, wire bead, double BlackBelt protection, 700x25mm clincherREAR TYRE: Specialized Espoir Sport, 60 TPI, wire bead, double BlackBelt protection, 700x25mm clincherSADDLE: Specialized Body Geometry Bridge Saddle, steel railsSEATPOST: Specialized alloy, 2-bolt clamp, 12mm offset, 27.2mm, anti-corrosion hardwarePEDALS: Nylon, 105x78x28mm, loose ball with reflectors
