SPECIALIZED S-WORKS AETHOS 2022 FRAMESET KIT

Don't get us wrong, we are all for racing, it's part of our DNA, but sometimes you ride simply for the pleasure of cycling. This is the spirit of the Aethos. We haven't overlooked performance, and the Aethos is the lightest bike in its category, but no compromises have been made in terms of style. Aethos: countless calculations for a single purpose - a perfect ride.

This frame is the perfect starting point to create the bike of your dreams.

• The S-Works Aethos frame was designed to create the perfect combination of ride quality, lightness, and style – to be able to accelerate even on steep climbs, descend the most technical descents, and be comfortable even during long Sunday rides. But you may wonder, how did we do it? We reinvented the traditional shape of the road bike of the past, slightly changing it to optimize stiffness and balance, without compromising weight or durability. With an entirely new lay-up, perfected over many decades, we achieve the lightest frame on the market (585 grams for the S-Works frame size 56). The Aethos is more than a new bike; it is the beginning of a new generation.

• A super lightweight frame is useless if the riding characteristics do not inspire confidence. That’s why for the Aethos we sought the perfect mix of stiffness at the front and rear in relation to ride quality. By studying the flexibility and every tiny detail of the carbon fibers, we discovered a lot about how forces travel through the frame. It will only take a few pedal strokes for you to realize that the Aethos represents a new standard in riding.
