One of the lightest bike frames currently on the market, the S-Works Aethos is one of the newest road bikes to come from Specialized, and they have packed some serious tech into 625g. Thanks to an all new layup process Specialized have created a super lightweight frame that is super stiff and has sublime handling
With this build we went with the full alpinist kit. The seatpost is included with the frameset, the one piece Alpinist bar and stem is super light and stiff. The Roval Alpnist theme continues with the Alpinist CL wheels shod with S-Works Turbo Cotton tyres.
Shifting and braking is taken care of by the super clean Sram AXS 12-speed. The groupset is made up of the ever reliable Red AXS QUARQ power meter. Due to the current supply issues this build features Rival AXS shifters and mechs, that being said, it still weighs in at 6.8kg!
