The 2025 Specialized S-Works Aethos SRAM RED AXS Road Bike is for people who ride for the love of riding, but it doesn't compromise on performance.
The Aethos frame has been designed with the perfect combination of ultimate ride feel, light weight, and style. From accelerating up steep pitches and descending technical descents, to all-day saddle comfort on even the longest coffee rides, the Aethos hits the mark. By reinventing the traditional road shape found on bikes of the past, Specialized have subtly altered these shapes to deliver massive gains in stiffness and balance, all without affecting weight or durability. Pair that with an entirely new layup and process that they've perfected over multiple decades and you have the lightest frame out there (585 grams, S-Works, size 56cm).
Top off the world’s lightest frame with a full SRAM RED AXS groupset with power meter - the lightest electronic groupset ever - and Roval’s featherweight Alpinist CLX II wheels and you’re left with a perfectly balanced top-tier ride that gives up nothing in the name of performance.
Road riding purists who want the lightest bike out there that climbs like a dream and is comfortable enough for all-day rides.
