Weighing in with just 705g making up the frame, Specialized’s Aethos 2 is the lightest bike in its class. Built with rider first engineering, a refined fit and geometry and Flow State design, the Aethos 2 Expert Di2 provides an exceptional performance out on the road in its responsive handling, confident grip and enhanced comfort for long day’s out on endurance rides.

The Roval C38 carbon fiber wheels and Aethos’s construction mean you can employ tyres of up to 35mm for smoother, faster rides on the road and expert grip in the face of slick tarmac and tight corners. The Alpinist bar, stem and handlebars are built to shave every precious gram you need to go faster, with the handlebars weighing in at 15% lighter than the S-Works Short & Shallow bar – all culminating in a road bike that rolls on in the face of big climbs, slick city streets and those among us who demand cutting-edge performance and timeless style all in one.

Engineered with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 drivetrain in which you can rely on for pro-level performance and rapid, smooth and reliable shifting, the Aethos 2 Expert also features small changes that make all the difference, from the increased stack height of 15mm to take the pressure off your hands, neck and shoulders, a 7mm longer wheelbase for stability that inspires confidence even on the downhill, a 3mm lower bottom bracket optimised for higher volume tyres and a 0.5° slacker headtube for intuitive handling.
