Specialized Allez
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.

Gravel riders who want comfort and tire room. Racers may prefer SuperX.
Gravel Cannondale with Kingpin rear flex on carbon models. Stable, progressive, and happier on chunk than SuperX.
Gravel riders who want one bike for events and weekends. Racers who want a lower, racier gravel bike should also look at Crux.
Specialized's gravel all-rounder. Future Shock up front (on many kits), generous tire room, and a position between Crux-race and touring. Recent Diverge 4 years shift clearance and front-end feel.
