The new Specialized Allez, which is launched today, marks the first time in over 40-years that the brand's budget bestseller will not include a rim brake option. The 2023 re-design now offers just two models, both equipped with disc brakes although this does mean that tires of up 35mm in width can be fitted.
Another significant change is the bike’s price. Specialized’s entry level road bike now starts at just above that magical $1000/£1000 'cheap bike' threshold.
