| Tuono Press and Reviews |
“A Championship-winning label for the rest of us.” 4.5/5 Stars. CyclingNews.com, August 22, 2008 |
“The Dolan Tuono combines the sharply accurate handling properties of a carbon road bike at the high end of the stiffness scale with a smooth ride quality akin to a bike intended for sportives...shows that you can have responsiveness without needing to wear a second pair of shorts to blunt vibrations.”
9/10 Rating. Cycling Plus Magazine, March 2008 |
Ride: sharp but smooth...a solid choice.
“Heralded British framebuilder Terry Dolan brings his name to US soil with a new distributor, DPM Sports, along with a new line of carbon frames. Dolan is noted for creating rigs for the likes of David Millar, Chris Boardman and Bradley Wiggins (not to mention scores of other notable road and track riders), but his carbon models now offer some of that legendary Dolan design wisdom to those without a heap of cash in their wallets (or Terry Dolan's phone number on their speed dial).
Our Dolan Tuono tester is aimed at the 'sportive' crowd and promises race bike-like performance mixed with the long-distance comfort that everyday riders require. The frame is competitively light (claimed weight is 1010g for a 52cm size) but the use of mostly intermediate density carbon, carbon nanotube-reinforced resins and alloy dropouts also promises good durability, too.”

The Dolan Tuono is listed first and labeled a best value in the Dream Bikes section of the 2009 Bicycling Magazine Buyers Guide. |

“Three Decades of Credibility: Briton Terry Dolan's bikes have been racing elite road and track for years under riders such as Chris Boardman and Chris Hoy. The pros provide Dolan with valuable feedback; he has an esteemed reputation among cycling's elite, who sometimes ride his bikes painted in other sponsors' colors. Long-Term: Some race-bred bikes have lightness and stiffness at the expense of ride quality, but the Tuono emphasizes comfort, so it's more than a race-only ride. And the nanotube-enhanced carbon fiber results in a claimed 967-gram frame weight (54cm).”
