OH, HOW FAR WE'VE COME

So, why did we bring aluminum back to the pro peloton after over a decade on hiatus? Just like their carbon fiber counterparts, our Allez line is leaps and bounds ahead of its time—often outperforming carbon fiber bikes from other brands. But you're probably wondering how? And the answer is found in our D’Aluisio Smartweld Technology. This tech takes the weld joint on a frame and moves it away from the area of the highest stress, making the finished frame's balance of strength, rigidity, and weight more pronounced than any alloy frame in history.

Ok, so we solved for stiffness and weight, but what about the harsh ride characteristics that have long plagued aluminum frames? By employing butted, hydroformed tubes, we've removed excess material from low-stress areas, and this allows our engineers to create a natural compliance in the tubes of the frame. Pretty cool, right? But we know that all the proposed tech in the world is useless without validation out on the road. And while we know how well the Allez rides, we saw a need to share this with the rest of the world. That's why we’ve teamed up with Hagens Berman Axeon Cycling Team to race the Allez.
