With a 705g frame, the Aethos 2 is the lightest bike in its class . But weight was never the point. Built by breaking racing’s rules to deliver pure road riding bliss, it’s engineered to disappear beneath you: 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.
The Specialized AETHOS PRO AXS RAPIDE is a high-end model with race-level components, built for riders chasing maximum performance. 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.
