Product Details

Women's Recreational/Fitness Road RAMP IT UP Tired of your exercise routine? Training for a non-profit event ride? Or just looking to fill a free Saturday afternoon? No matter what turns your attention to the road, all scenarios are deserving of a bike like the Dolce.Inside Tech When we say our bikes are women's-specific, we really mean it—from the saddle right down to the cranks, we either design or hand pick every critical component to fit female riders. The Dolce is equipped with Body Geometry Lithia or Sonoma saddles that eliminate soft tissue pressure, shorter crank arms that enable a faster spin and triple gearing for climbing hills with ease.
