Safety
When cycling always take safety very seriously. Wear a helmet, obey the traffic rules and wear hi-vis clothes. In short, take care of yourself so others can take care of you.
Endurance bikes average price
If you want an acceptable Endurance bike you should know that the average price is 2346$. However, paying less money than this amount doesn’t mean that you couldn’t get a great Endurance bike. As a general rule of thumb, you should always read reviews about the bike and its components before buying it to ensure you don’t pay too much.

Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a carbon one, so, it won’t add up to much weight to your bike. However, the price you have to pay for a carbon fork is considerably higher.
Wheels size
The Dolce Elite Disc EQ 2015 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Specialized Dolce Elite Disc EQ has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
