ALLEZ SPRINT all black

Specialized Tarmacs are great bikes with phenomenal geometry and comfort. The newest SL8 shares a lot of similarities with the newest Porsche GT3 RS. It's predictable and extremely fast. A lot of Porsche customers did beat their track records first try. That's how confidence inspiring good engineering feels. A much as I love riding the Tarmac, the Allez embrace more of the road chatter at high-speed, and this makes me feel alive. According to Specialized the Allez cannibalized the SL7! Let's just imagine this in the most extreme possible form. If the SL8 is the richest person on earth, the SL7 is his kid. Imagine you could cannibalize Elon Musk's kid, use his cars, yacht, helicopter, mansions at the beach and just enjoy life without any of the drawbacks, responsibility and expectations! Wouldn't this be crazy? This is what the Allez gives me. Same SL8 speed but more emotions.
