'05 Specialized Dolce

The Dolce family of road bikes is designed by women for women, each built to perfectly fit women in physiology, style, and on-road performance. They’re true lightweight, high performance road bikes with female-centric geometry and components that truly improve the riding experience for women.

Key Features

• FRAME DESIGN - The primary goal of the Dolce geometry is to fit women properly. We achieved this through several key design elements that we engineered specifically for our Dolce line. Each model features a slightly shorter top tube and taller head tube. The Dolce is offered in sizes 44cm to 56cm to improve fit options.
• 700C WHEELS - All models are supplied with 700c wheels to ensure a rider doesn’t have to sacrifice speed or performance. Even on our smallest size, this important feature has been achieved without toe/wheel overlap.
• ZERTZ HANDLEBAR - Similar to an engine motor mount, this ingenious and effective innovation employs a proprietary damping material between the handlebar clamping area and the stem. It’s been proven to isolate vibrations and reduce transmission to the rider, decreasing fatigue and increasing comfort, without compromising rigidity.
• FIT & COMPONENTS - A significant commitment has been made to not only fit, but appearance in our component selection. Women’s Dolce Body Geometry saddle designed and tested by female cyclists for proven comfort are combined with proportional crank and stem lengths for a true ergonomic position and improved biomechanics. The unique four-way adjustable stem adds to the customized fit and in concert with the custom, women’s specific handlebar, and 7mm shorter brake reach provides a cockpit optimized to fit women like no other. For even greater fit options adjustable reach Shimano STI levers better fit women’s smaller hands, custom equipped with Dolce Slim Shims, which shorten reach by a further 20mm. All of these unique features are color coordinated creating a package that looks as good as it works.
