I saw the $14,000 Aethos and thought shit was getting crazy. Specialized said, “hold my beer”

Allez Sprint Frameset

Allez Sprint Frameset

$1,700

We took every innovation and insight learned developing the Tarmac SL7 and rebuilt it from alloy with our Smartweld technology to create the all-new Allez Sprint. Whether chasing a National title or attacking your buddies 15 minutes into an “easy” Sunday spin, we won’t be offended if you mistake the Allez for a Tarmac SL7. Some may call it a carbon copy, we call it the World’s First Alloy Super Bike.

Ready to make your dream alloy super bike a reality? Start with the all-new Allez Sprint Frameset. Equipped with a Tarmac SL7 FACT carbon fork and seatpost, it’s compatible with both aero and traditional stems and bars, electronic and mechanical drivetrains, and features a no-fuss threaded bottom bracket. The rest is up to you.

  • The Allez Sprint is the fastest alloy road bike in history, thanks to the time its sibling, the Tarmac SL7, spent in the wind. It’s details like the most complex alloy head tube we’ve ever made and integrated cables that make it 41 seconds faster over 40km than the previous Allez Sprint. That’s a hell of a facelift. With 41 seconds, you’d have a podium picture in your Insta feed, just saying.
  • Whether you’re 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 keeps you fast and confident on the limit.
  • Dive for the winning gap, bang elbows in the final meters, dissect the most technical descents, all without feeling like you’ve gone ten rounds with the heavyweight champ. Dropped seat stays, and the Tarmac SL7’s carbon seat post and fork make the Allez Sprint supple in the saddle and precise at the bars—all with Tarmac SL7’s World Championship-proven geometry. It’s as comfy as it is beautiful. Well, almost.
  • One innovation over any other helps us deliver the new Allez Sprint’s aerodynamics, power transfer, and handling—Smartweld. Making the fastest bikes in the world out of carbon wasn’t hard enough. We hydroformed the bottom bracket and down tube from a single piece of alloy, built our most complex alloy head tube ever, and then put it all together with Smartweld. It’s what makes the Allez Sprint the first alloy super bike.

Seems the best sl7 to compare is the sl7 expert with di2 for 8300 vs 6700. Still don’t like the 1x

Well, damn. I have the original Allez Sprint. It looks like I’ll get beat by nearly a minute if I ride 25 miles with a guy on the new one. :sob:

Looks interesting if I was in the market. Feel lucky I picked up my SL7 Rival groupset after the first price bump. Since I bought it at $4800 it had two bumps, first to $5000 and then $5500.

I had to look up what “smart weld” was and realized that its just standard welding techniques.

Who would have thought that adding bevels to a tube can help you make a strong bond :smile:

I love my Allez for reasons that this edition has moved away from. Great looking bike, price is pretty eye-watering, but it looks like a more all-rounder than the previous model. Kinda like the new Crux - less focused on CX but a better all-around off-road bike

Had one in my cart and sold out before I could finish checkout.

Edit: think I may build up that State posted above. $1000 cheaper I could add a carbon wheelset.

Ok, I’ll put my hands up and say I was wrong-ish. Some of those colours look lovely and built up with some deep wheels it’ll be great. Black is definitely not great still mind you!

Price is a bit steep but that just means I’m not the target market. Definitely hope some other folks pay attention and build more nice metal mikes.

Edit: metal bikes no idea what you’d do with a metal Mike!

METAL MIKES in the house

agreed - I think this will be more popular that we suspect (or maybe we deep down suspect it will be popular)

I got my Fuji Jari aluminum frame (all road) 4 years ago for $300 on clearance

Sold out already? What’s up with that?

78

I actually like the Bianchi green looking build, but I wouldn’t pay that price. Maybe as a frameset, but I think there are better deals out there for similar frames.

79

I swear Specialized purposely under orders these frames. They’ve been hard to get since the Sprint was first released.
