Specialized wants to make bikes accessible to everyone, which is why there is the Allez range. They quite understand that your first bike cannot or need not be an instant copy of Julien Alaphilippe's S-Works.

The Allez series frames are comfortably and somewhat less 'racy' built. The geometry of this bike is tailored to the starting cyclist. Not too sporty in terms of posture, but a nice relaxed and comfortable cycling position.

An Allez has an Aluminium frame with a light and comfortable carbon fork, this ensures that vibrations and bumps are largely filtered out.

Allez series bikes are usually equipped with Shimano or Sram components from their basic series. E.g. the Shimano Claris, Sora, Tiagra or the popular 105 series. If Sram is chosen, it is often the Apex or Rival series.

Unlike many other brands, Specialized always opts for durable non-visible parts. Whereas you often come across bad wheel, headset and bottom bracket bearings in German price fighter brands, Specialized resolutely opts for quality. As a result, the price of a Specialized is often a bit higher than a Cube or a Bulls but your bike will be a lot more durable.
