SPECIALIZED Aethos Comp
The Aethos is designed to straddle the line between perfect ride quality, extreme lightweight, and undeniable style. The Aethos Comp model is no exception.
The Aethos frame has been designed with the perfect combination of ultimate ride feel, lightweight, and style - from accelerating up steep pitches and descending technical descents, to all-day saddle comfort on even the longest coffee rides, the Aethos hits the mark. But how, you ask? By reinventing the traditional road shape found on bikes of the past, Specialized have subtly altered these shapes to deliver massive gains in stiffness and balance, all without affecting weight or durability. Pair that with an entirely new layup and process that's been perfected over multiple decades and you have the lightest frame out there (585 grams, S-Works, size 56cm).
The Aethos is more than just a new bike, it's the first of a new breed.
