The Details
The Aethos is Specialized's attempt at redesigning the traditional road bike. The Aethos delivers in three areas - being exceptionally lightweight, having great ride characteristics and being stylish.
Specialized has reinvented the classic road bike shape and the Aethos delivers massive gains in stiffness and balance as a result. Specialized has done this by utilizing larger, longer and more continuous tubes that ensure the frame is exceptionally strong and durable even as one of the lightest frames out there. The Aethos frame has been designed to be super flexible with the ability to accelerate up steep hills, tackle technical descents and handle all-day rides too.
Specialized's Aethos Pro Sram Force eTAP AXS is a premium road bike from the new Aethos stable. The Force AXS groupset provides clean and crisp shifts and matches the performance that the Aethos frame provides.
Every detail, from the derailleur hangers to the fork expander plug have been designed for the pursuit of the perfect ride.
Lastly, comfort is not forgotten with a high-quality Roval Alpinist carbon seatpost and Roval Alpinist wheels - helping to keep weight down and improve ride characteristics.
- Aethos Pro frame
- Sram Force eTap AXS 12-speed groupset
- Roval Alpinist Carbon Wheels
- DT-Swiss 350 Hubs
- Lightweight, well-balanced and stylish
