PRODUCT DETAILS

CLOSEOUT ITEM!! (May not be available at all locations, while supplies last)
Sometimes riding simply to ride, riding for the love of riding, is just what we all need. And this is what the 2022 Specialized Aethos Comp AXS Road Bike lives for. Sure, it’s given nothing up to performance, and happens to be the lightest frame out there, but with no compromise to style. The Aethos frame has been designed with the perfect combination of ultimate ride feel, light weight, 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. Specialized spec’d this model in a way that delivers. Featuring a SRAM Rival eTAP AXS 12-speed drivetrain, DT R470 wheels, and Turbo Pro Tires, the Aethos Comp provides the ride you didn’t know you were missing. Aethos: Billions of calculations in the pursuit of one thing—the perfect ride.

The Aethos frame has been designed with the perfect combination of ultimate ride feel, light weight, and stylefrom 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 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 theyve 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, its the first of a new breed
A featherweight frame is useless without confidence-inspiring ride characteristics, which is why Specialized developed the Aethos to have the perfect balance of front and rear stiffness combined with exceptional ride quality. By studying the flexing and breathing of carbon fiber, they were able to discover groundbreaking findings about how forces flow through frames. Just a few pedal strokes and youll realize this sublime ride sets a new standard.
