Specialized Dolce Womens Road Bike 2017
Whether you’re looking for your first road bike or you’re a seasoned road rider, you can’t deny that the Specialized Dolce Women’s Road Bike 2017 is one of the most versatile and capable road bikes on the market. It has been constructed from Specialized's renowned A1 Premium Aluminium that commands a low weight and high stiffness ratio, making it ideal for everything from your ride to work to testing your fitness on Sunday club runs.
Incorporating a strong and study, not to mention lightweight, FACT carbon fibre fork, Specialized have been able to increase the responsiveness and control of the Dolce. The Zertz inserts also absorb any road chatter and vibrations, meaning you’ll ride in confidence and comfort throughout every phase of your next adventure.
Shimano Claris 2400, 8-speed is a welcomed feature in the Dolce. This drivetrain has a wide range of gearing that’s aimed towards first-time riders, instead of being equipped with pro-level gearing that’s much harsher on the legs. With 16 gears, you can truly find your preferred riding style over long distances, taking on testing climbs and speeding down the descents.
Shimano Claris is also notorious for being easy to maintain, so if anything does happen when you’re out on your ride, you can fix it yourself instead of having to take it into your local bike shop. The shift levers are also Shimano Claris 2400 STI, which control the braking of the highly-regarded Tektro caliper brakes.
The Tektro caliper brakes are ideal on a road bike of this level, as they offer the perfect amount of braking power, combined with great reliability inside a lightweight and durable package. Specialized Axis Sport wheels are what these brakes are slowing down and for good reason. These wheels are lightweight, strong and stable - ensuring no applied power is lost through flex within the rims, whilst Specialized Espoir Sport 700x25mm tyres enhance grip and traction in a wide range of weather.
All-in-all, the Specialized Dolce Womens Road Bike 2017 is the perfect choice for first-time riders and cyclists who have had some time off the bike, too. It’s lightweight, strong and durable enough to ensure you don’t need to worry about maintenance too often, whilst the wide range of gearing is perfect for spinning up climbs or testing your fitness when you want to head off for long days in the saddle.

- Shimano Claris 2400 8-speed shifting is built to last over the long haul, and it's well-equipped to deliver precise shifts across a wide range of gears
