Specialized has a rich heritage in racing, with victories in Grand Tours and Classic Monuments ingrained in its DNA. However, sometimes, the simple act of riding for the love of it is all you need. This is the ethos of the Specialized Aethos Road Bike. It prioritises pure performance while boasting the title of the lightest frame available, all without compromising on style. The Aethos represents the culmination of billions of calculations in the pursuit of the perfect ride.

Pairing the world’s lightest frame with Shimano’s renowned Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and Roval’s featherweight Alpinist wheels creates a top-tier ride that excels in every aspect of performance.

The Aethos frame is meticulously crafted to offer the ultimate combination of ride feel, lightweight construction, and sleek aesthetics. Whether conquering steep climbs, navigating technical descents, or embarking on leisurely coffee rides, the Aethos delivers unparalleled performance. By reimagining traditional road bike shapes and optimising stiffness and balance without compromising weight or durability, Specialized has ushered in a new era of cycling with the Aethos.

A featherweight frame is only as valuable as its ride characteristics, which is why the Aethos is engineered to strike the perfect balance of front and rear stiffness alongside exceptional ride quality. Through extensive study of carbon fibre dynamics, Specialized has achieved groundbreaking insights into how forces flow through frames, setting a new standard for ride excellence.

Every detail of the Aethos, from its derailleur hangers to its fork expander plug, is meticulously designed with style, weight optimisation, and durability in mind. Additionally, it is equipped with Roval’s all-new Alpinist carbon seatpost and wheels, further enhancing its performance and saving weight. Every component is meticulously chosen in the pursuit of the perfect ride.
