Specialized Dolce Sport

The Specialized Dolce Sport is a mid-model in Specialized's line of Dolce road bikes, which are designed specifically for female riders. The smooth-welded women's A1 Premium Aluminum frame has recreational geometry for a lightweight and confident ride. The women's specific saddle has generous padding for all-day comfort and ergonomic aluminum women's handlebars with short reach and short drop give a natural and comfortable riding position. The adjustable 4-position stem with 31.8mm bar clamp gives strength and versatile positioning while the Ultralight FACT carbon/alloy fork provides laser-accurate steering. The Specialized Dolce Sport is available in Black/Charcoal or White/Berry with a long cage rear derailleur as the Dolce Sport Triple or with a short cage rear derailleur as the Dolce Sport Compact.
