The bike is nice. Does it feel vastly different than the previous Allez Sprint? Nope. Is it overpriced for what it is? Probably. It’s a bike, it goes fast if you go fast. My biggest complaint is that Specialized’ direct to consumer model, cost consumers more to purchase the same bike than if you were able to buy it straight from a brick and mortar store (it was sold out everywhere besides Specialized own website); which makes zero sense because they offer in store pickup.

Love it !

This bike rides great and is fast

Needed a rugged frame, affordable, foul-weather, disc brake road bike and Allez Sprint Comp fit the bill. Good stock but get lighter wheels if possible. Installed a set of aero carbon 35's running tubeless and this bike flies. Fast, smooth, responsive, good power transfer. Head tube length is short so you ride low; may need a higher rise stem if you are older like me. Owned aluminum, carbon, titanium, and steel road bikes. No harshness of my older aluminum bike. 105 drivetrain as smooth as Ultegra. Standard threaded bottom bracket is so easy to change. Some complain about big welds but not a big deal. I'm interested in function over looks. It is plain FUN to ride. Can honestly say it is the only road bike I have owned over the years that puts a smile on my face every time I ride it.

Love the bike, it has great speed, it’s the perfect bike for the weekends and for the races

Smooth Ride.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. It's a dream come true! Don't sleep on this bike.

Sleek design and excellent ride. In my perspective it is the top class of Aluminium bike in the market.

Only have had one shake down ride on my new Allez Sprint Comp, but I LOVE it. Great brakes, clean quiet shifting, handles awesome. High quality fit and finish.

I was debating on a Tarmac SL7 Comp (Carbon) or this Allez Sprint Comp (Aluminum). I finally decided on the latter and couldn’t be any happier. The Allez looks exactly like the SL7 without the SL7 price tag. Had the Allez not had identical SL7 geometry, I most likely would have went with SL7 simply for the looks. The difference in weight and drivetrain between the two was not substantial enough for me to drop the extra cash (4-5 lbs heavier). With the savings, you can get yourself some nice carbon wheels, handlebars and other wanted upgrades and be at around stock SL7 territory. Bottom line is, if you race, AND want the absolute lightest bike, go SL7. If your the casual recreational rider like myself and want a really nice looking/performing bike without breaking the bank, take this Allez Sprint Comp.
