Specialized have tailored the Dolce women’s road bike range towards all-round road riding. It’s snappy enough for a foray into racing and comfortable for all day jollies in the countryside, making it a popular choice for female riders.
The Elite X3 EQ is the top of the range Dolce model and the A1 Premium Aluminium frame has Zertz inserts in the unique shaped hydroformed seat stays. Zertz inserts are also seen in the FACT carbon fork to reduce road buzz and vibrations.
The groupset is Shimano Tiagra with a triple chainset, in addition to Specialized seatpost, saddle, stem and bar components the manufacturer has provided two water bottle cages and a Mini-Wedgie seat bag, so you’re ready to roll out of the shop and on to the roads.
