With this frame set you have the perfect platform to build your dream bike for your dream ride.

highlights

• The frame of the Aethos forms the perfect combination of ultimate driving experience, low weight and incomparable style. From acceleration on steep climbs to technical descents to unparalleled comfort on even the longest coffee rides, the Aethos always hits the mark. But how does it do it, you will ask. With the help of a supercomputer, Specialized has optimized the traditional road bike shape of older bikes in a completely new way. Shapes have been subtly altered to provide massive gains in stiffness and balance without sacrificing weight or durability. In conjunction with their completely new layup process, which has been perfected over decades, the result is the lightest frame there is (585g for the S-Works model with 56 cm). The Aethos is more than just a new bike, it's the first of a new breed of bikes
• A featherweight frame is useless without a confidence-inspiring ride. That's why Specialized engineered the Aethos to have exceptional ride qualities and find the perfect balance of stiffness within the bike. In addition, in extensive tests on the flexibility of carbon fibers, they were able to gain groundbreaking insights into how forces are distributed within a bicycle frame. After you start pedaling, you'll find that the exceptional handling sets a new standard
• Every detail, from the derailleur hangers to the fork crown, has been designed with style, weight and durability in mind. Everything about this bike strives for the perfect ride
