The Aethos line delivers on three promises: exceptional light weight, perfectly balanced ride characteristics, and undeniable style. The Specialized Aethos Pro Road Bike exemplifies these qualities. With billions of calculations driving the pursuit of the perfect ride, Aethos stands out.
Equipped with Shimano's Ultegra Di2 for smooth, precise shifting and Roval’s Alpinist wheels paired with DT Swiss 350 hubs, this build is designed to perform flawlessly mile after mile.
The Aethos frame strikes the ideal balance of ride feel, lightweight construction, and style. From steep climbs and technical descents to all-day comfort on the longest rides, the Aethos excels. This is achieved by reinventing traditional road bike shapes, enhancing stiffness and balance without compromising weight or durability. An innovative new layup process perfected over decades results in the lightest frame available (585g, S-Works, size 56cm). The Aethos represents more than just a new bike, it's a new standard.
A featherweight frame needs confidence-inspiring ride characteristics, so the Aethos is engineered for perfect front and rear stiffness and exceptional ride quality. By studying how carbon fiber flexes and breathes, Specialized have made groundbreaking discoveries about force distribution in frames. Just a few pedal strokes reveal this bike’s sublime ride quality, setting a new benchmark.
Every detail, from derailleur hangers to the fork expander plug, is crafted with style, weight, and durability in mind. The bike features Roval’s new Alpinist carbon seatpost and wheels, further reducing weight and enhancing ride performance. All elements converge in the pursuit of the perfect ride.
