Specialized Aethos Expert
The Aethos: A Lightweight Philosophy for the Perfect Ride
Imagine billions of calculations poured into a single mission: crafting the ideal cycling experience. The Aethos embodies this philosophy, not just as a motto, but as a design DNA. It seamlessly blends ultimate comfort, featherweight construction, and undeniable style, with this Expert model exemplifying that perfectly.
Equipped with the latest wireless SRAM Rival eTap AXS shifting and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, alongside lightweight Roval C38 Disc carbon wheels, it becomes your trusty steed for conquering any road.
Unveiling the Secret
So how does the Aethos achieve this seemingly impossible balance? We started by reimagining the classic road bike shape. Subtle tweaks deliver significant gains in stiffness and stability, without compromising weight or durability. Couple that with our perfected layup process, honed over decades, and you get the lightest frame on the market (585 grams, S-Works, size 56cm).
The Aethos is more than just a bike; it's a revolution.
Beyond Featherweight
A lightweight frame needs to inspire confidence, and the Aethos delivers. We meticulously balanced front and rear stiffness with exceptional ride quality. By studying how carbon fiber flexes and "breathes," we unlocked groundbreaking insights into force distribution within the frame. Experience this sublime ride for yourself, and you'll know it sets a new standard.
Obsessive Attention to Detail
Every element, from the derailleur hangers to the fork expander plug, is meticulously crafted for style, weight, and durability. We even incorporated Roval's innovative Alpinist carbon seatpost to further reduce weight and enhance ride feel. All this, in relentless pursuit of the perfect ride.
