2021 Specialized Allez vs 2020 OPEN MIN.D.
The XL is the OPEN MIN.D. size closest to your 61 Specialized Allez. 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 in 61, the OPEN MIN.D. in XL places the top of the head tube 39 mm lower and about as far forward, relative to the bottom bracket. Its wheelbase is 3 mm shorter, which can contribute to quicker direction changes.
