Climbs corners flat-out sprints—the Allez DSW SL Sprint Comp does it all. Even better it performs all of the above at a price that’s affordable for any racer’s budget. At the heart of it is our DSW Sprint Technology which strategically places more welding material where it’s needed resulting in an aluminium bike that’s more compliant and considerably stiffer. How stiff exactly? It’s the stiffest alloy bike we’ve ever tested. Drawing inspiration from the Rider-First Engineered Tarmac this frame has a unique down tube bottom bracket shell and head tube plus fork sizes that correspond to frame size. This ensures uniform performance across the entyre size run. Making sure every single watt you produce gets transferred to the road it has short chainstays that create an extremely stiff and rigid rear triangle. But it goes beyond just pure rigidity as the hydroformed tube shapes have also been aerodynamically optimized to slice through the wind.For the build we spec’d it with Shimano Ultegra shifting Axis Elite alloy wheels and a stiff Praxis Alba 2D crankset.

• E5 Premium Aluminum frame with Allez D’Aluisio Smartweld Technology refocuses weld locations, allowing for more material to be placed where it’s needed for increased stiffness and compliance where you really need it.
• Our top-tier S-Works FACT carbon fiber fork provides incredible stiffness and front end steering response, while also efficiently absorbing road chatter.
• The Praxis Alba 2D crankset is an incredibly stiff crankset with supreme ramping for precise shifts between the rings.
