2017 Specialized Allez E5 Elite Road BIke

2017 Specialized Allez E5 Elite Road Bike

There's no denying it, we're still in love with aluminium road bikes. And when it comes to transforming this passion into a labor of love, we make a bike like the Allez E5 Elite. It's constructed from our lightweight and ultra-stiff E5 Premium aluminium to ensure that you get those most out of every watt that your legs can produce. More so, this construction makes for a bike that's equally capable for the road ahead, so you'll find it performing exceptionally on climbs, descents, and all-out sprints. Even better, these characteristics are all amplified by the Elite's exquisite & confident geometry and FACT carbon fibre fork. For the build, we went with a no-nonsense approach, opting for a Shimano Tiagra groupset, a stiff Praxis Alba crankset, and durable Axis sport alloy wheels.
 

• E5 Premium aluminium frame features fully manipulated tubing with smooth welds that increase stiffness and efficiency, while looking just as good as it performs.
• A FACT carbon fibre fork provides incredible stiffness and front end steering response, while also efficiently absorbing road chatter.
• Shimano Tiagra 10-speed shifting is precise, reliable, and ready for years of hard riding.
