Four decades after the first Specialized Allez graced the roads, the new Allez E5 stands as the ultimate road bike. It's the lightest in its category, offering riders more confidence, flexibility, and top - notch performance. Whether you're in search of a high - quality alloy bike for weekend jaunts and speedy commutes or just starting your road cycling adventure, the Allez E5 is where it all begins. The bike features smooth Shimano shifting with 50 - 34 chainrings at the front and an 11 - 32 cassette at the rear, enabling you to keep pace in group rides or conquer the steepest hills on your commute. Its 30 mm tires allow for lower pressure, smoothing out bumpy roads and providing a larger contact area for a more confident ride. With disc brakes and 160 mm rotors at both the front and rear, you'll have excellent stopping power in any weather. The full carbon fork and E5 alloy frame, combined with an endurance - inspired road geometry, put you in an ideal position for group rides or solo escapades. Plus, the hidden fender and rack mounts make it perfect for year - round commuting.
Using your Specialized Allez E5 is a breeze. To get started, adjust the seat and handlebars to your comfort level. When you're out riding, use the Shimano shifters to change gears according to the terrain. For uphill climbs, shift to a lower gear, and for flat or downhill sections, use a higher gear. When it comes to stopping, simply squeeze the brake levers gently to slow down and more firmly to come to a complete stop. As for maintenance, regularly check your tire pressure. Keep it at an appropriate level to ensure a smooth and safe ride. Inspect the brakes and gears every so often to make sure they're in good working condition. Clean your bike after every long or muddy ride. Use a mild soap and water to wash the frame, wheels, and components. And don't forget to lubricate the chain to keep it running smoothly. Remember, actual weights of the bike may vary slightly, and some accessories like the rack, fenders, and carbon wheels are optional.
