Specialized Dolce Elite Womens 2016 - Road Bike
Discover new rides and routes with the Specialized Dolce Elite women’s endurance road bike. Take the long way home with this women’s specific road bike for newbies, rapid commuters and sportive / club riders
The Dolce Sport Disc is for female riders wanting a road bike with a more comfortable riding position and vibration damping properties.
Frame & Fork
Key to the exceptional ride feel is a light, responsive and strong E5 Premium Aluminium frame. Women’s Endurance Road Geometry puts you into a less tucked riding position for comfort on longer rides. A shorter top tube compared to unisex bikes means you’re not so stretched out on the frame.
Specialized have focused on reducing weight without compromising strength with D’Aluisio Smartweld Technology. Each weld junction has been optimised to use the least material needed without impacting on strength.
Keeping you in the saddle for longer are Zertz inserts in the fork and seatstays which act as micro suspension to take the sting out of road vibrations. Upfront the lightweight full monocoque carbon fork helps with vibration damping so your muscles stay fresher for longer.
Components
Equipped is a Shimano Tiagra 10 speed drivetrain with a compact crankset offering plenty of gears for getting up the hills. The steps between gears are close to help you find the right option to match your cadence.
Standard sized wheels with 25mm tyres provide fast rolling performance to help propel you further. Specialized Espoir tyres have double BlackBelt protection for reduced punctures.
Women’s specific short reach bars put you into a more comfortable endurance riding position. These bars are narrower than you find on unisex bikes too and come with Roubaix gel pads in the tape for added comfort - especially on rough roads.
The Body Geometry Riva Sport saddle is designed to minimize pressure points for the female anatomy for a more comfortable ride.
Key Features;
D’Aluisio Smartweld technology in the E5 Premium Aluminium frame provides a lightweight and precise-handling ride, while the Women’s Endurance Geometry of the frame delivers improved stability for confident control when climbing and descending. This geo also puts you in a less aggressive and more natural ride position for hours of comfortable riding.
The agile and responsive FACT carbon, full-monocoque fork features Zertz inserts to absorb road roughness and give you a smoother ride.
