Who it's for

New road riders and anyone who wants Specialized road geometry without carbon race numbers.

The endurance/entry alloy Specialized: taller and calmer than Allez Sprint. It is a first road bike and a winter beater, not a Tarmac.

Endurance riders who found Helium too low.

Ridley endurance road: taller, more all-day than Helium, still a road race family bike rather than Kanzo gravel.
