At just 595 grams, the S-Works Aethos 2 is the lightest production road frame in the world. But that was never the point. Built by breaking the rules of racing to deliver pure road riding bliss, Aethos 2 is engineered to disappear beneath you. Impossibly responsive, supple, and sublime. Now with increased tire clearance, refined components, and data-based fit-enhancing geometry, it brings that transcendent ride feel to more riders than ever. Aethos 2 breaks the rules, for the love of the ride.
The Aethos skips aero compromises and focuses on what matters most: low weight, superb ride feel and natural handling. The frame is stiff enough for hard efforts yet pleasant on long rides, making it a bike you want to ride every day.
S-Works is the top of the Specialized range: the lightest frames, the best components and the technology the pros ride. The S-Works AETHOS AXS RAPIDE is for riders who accept no compromises. The carbon frame keeps weight down while adding stiffness where it matters, so the bike responds instantly to every pedal stroke and steers precisely through corners.
