AETHOS S-WORKS FRAMESET SATIN OIL GRANITE OVER METALLIC DEEP LAKE / WHITE SAGE SIZE 49

Description of item

To be clear, Specialized is serious about racing. Grand Tour podiums and Classics achievements are in our DNA. But sometimes it's also important to enjoy the ride as you please. Aethos was born to meet such needs. Of course, without sacrificing performance, the frame is designed to be the lightest yet without compromising on style. All of the billions of iterations of calculations in the development process were for a single purpose. What the Aethos wanted was a pure ride.

Use this frameset as your canvas to create the bike of your dreams.

The Aethos frame is designed to achieve the ultimate balance of ride feel, lightness, and style. Up to the required comfort, we have cleared at a high level. So how did they do it? We've reimagined the shape of a traditional road frame, and made subtle but important changes to create a shape that significantly improves stiffness and balance without any negative impact on weight or durability. Combine this with an all-new layup and a formula we've perfected over the decades to create our lightest frame ever (585g for S-Works size 56cm). Aethos is more than just a new bike, it's a model that never existed before.

■Even if it is an ultra-lightweight frame, it is meaningless if it does not have driving performance that enhances a sense of security. That's why we engineered the Aethos frame to provide the perfect balance of front and rear stiffness for a superior ride quality experience. By studying the flex and properties of carbon fiber, we have discovered groundbreaking facts about the forces that are transmitted through the frame. If you pedal a few times, you should be able to experience that this outstanding running is the standard from now on.

Every detail, from the derailleur hanger to the fork expander plugs, is designed with style, weight and durability in mind to give you the best ride possible.
