2020 Specialized Allez Sport vs 2020 OPEN MIN.D.

The S is the OPEN MIN.D. size closest to your 49 Specialized Allez Sport. We match frame stack and reach. This is a geometry comparison, not a fit recommendation; stem, spacers, handlebars and saddle setup also affect your riding position.

What changes on the OPEN MIN.D.

Compared with the Specialized Allez Sport in 49, the OPEN MIN.D. in S places the top of the head tube at about the same height and 13 mm further back, relative to the bottom bracket. Its wheelbase is 11 mm shorter, which can contribute to quicker direction changes.
