2020 Specialized Allez E5 vs 2020 OPEN MIN.D.

The S is the OPEN MIN.D. size closest to your 44 Specialized Allez E5. 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 E5 in 44, the OPEN MIN.D. in S places the top of the head tube 19 mm higher and 4 mm further back, relative to the bottom bracket. Its wheelbase is 3 mm shorter, which can contribute to quicker direction changes.
