Specialized Aethos 2 Pro SRAM Force AXS

Specialized Aethos 2 is the road bike that rewrites the rules: with a frame weighing just 705 g it ranks among the lightest in its category, but weight is only the beginning of the story.

Designed to disappear beneath you , the Aethos 2 offers a surprisingly smooth and responsive ride: every watt turns into forward motion, every vibration is filtered out, leaving you with nothing but the pure pleasure of pedalling. The new data-optimized geometry makes it easier to find the ideal fit, from beginner cyclists to advanced enthusiasts, improving comfort, control, and performance over long distances.

Thanks to the increased tire clearance , the Aethos 2 accommodates wider tires, perfect for rough tarmac, technical descents, and epic rides with superior confidence and grip. Further refined components complete a package that puts the spotlight on the riding feel : light, natural, almost mystical.

If you’re looking for a road bike that’s not just fast, but above all extraordinarily enjoyable to ride , the Specialized Aethos 2 is made for you: a bike that breaks the rules for the love of riding.
