Specialized S-Works Aethos 2 SRAM RED AXS

The Aethos 2 is a bike born from revolutionary Flow State Design, where machine intelligence evolved tubes into sculpted forms, resulting in the lightest production road frame in the world—the 595-gram FACT 12r chassis. This wasn't just about weight savings; it was about achieving stiffness and responsiveness that make this chassis capable of a truly sublime ride feel. The goal was to make the bike disappear beneath you, leaving nothing but the pure, unadulterated joy of the road.

This latest iteration brings significant improvements in fit and versatility. Decades of Body Geometry data were tuned into a fit that works for more riders, featuring a 7mm longer wheelbase and a 0.5° slacker headtube for nimble yet stable handling. Furthermore, the Aethos 2 now clears 35mm tires with ease, providing smoother, faster rides, more grip, and opening up more roads than ever before. Finished with the SRAM Red AXS drivetrain, Roval Alpinist cockpit, and Roval CLX III wheels, the complete build weighs an astonishing 5.98 kg, setting a new benchmark for all-around road performance.
