About Specialized Dolce bikes

Dolce is Specialized's aluminium framed, women's entry level road bike range ideal for those new to road cycling. The range is similar to the men's Secteur range as the bikes are designed to be comfortable and easy to ride which also makes them ideal for longer rides. What this range of bikes lacks in speed it makes up for in versatility with any of the Dolce bikes being ideal for sportives, weekly workouts, first triathlons, club rides, commuting and even light touring. In addition to the women's specific geometry the Dolce range also boasts a number of women's specific components such as saddles, cranks and handlebars. If you're looking for a more serious bike that offers a blend of both speed and comfort then take a look at Specialized's carbon fibre framed Ruby range. For more race inspired, speed focused road bikes around the same price point Specialized's carbon fibre framed Amira range is worth a look.

Specialized says

Every key component of the Dolce was specifically selected for the female rider looking to tackle everything from the weekend workout to the upcoming century ride. The Dolce Comp has an A1 alloy frame with women's endurance geometry, hydro formed alloy seatstays and Zertz inserts for a responsive, yet forgiving ride. The SRAM Apex drivetrain with 11-32 cassette provides wide gear options with smooth shifting.
