Don't get us wrong, we're all for racing. The top spots of the Grand Tour, the monuments of the classics—they're in our DNA. But sometimes, it's just right to ride for the sake of riding, to love the ride. And that's what the Aethos is all about. Sure, it hasn't lost anything in terms of performance and happens to be the lightest frame on the market, but without compromising on style. Aethos: billions of calculations in search of one thing—the perfect ride feel.
The Aethos frame was developed with the perfect combination of ultimate ride feel, low weight, and style—from acceleration on steep climbs and technical descents to all-day saddle comfort even on the longest coffee rides, the Aethos hits the mark. But how, you ask? By reinventing the traditional road shape known from earlier bikes. We've subtly changed these shapes to achieve a massive gain in stiffness and balance, without compromising on weight or durability. Combined with a completely new construction and process that we've perfected over decades, the result is the lightest frame there is (585 grams, S-Works, size 56 cm). The Aethos is more than just a new bike, it's the first of a new kind. A feather-light frame is useless without confidence-inspiring riding characteristics. That's why we've designed the Aethos to offer the perfect balance between front and rear stiffness and exceptional ride quality. By studying the bending and breathing of carbon fibers, we've been able to make groundbreaking findings on how forces flow through the frame. After just a few pedal strokes, you'll realize that this magnificent bike sets a new standard. Every detail, from the dropout eyes to the fork expanders, has been developed with style, weight, and durability in mind. We've also equipped it with the new Alpinist Carbon seatpost and Roval wheels to save further weight and enhance riding characteristics. All in the pursuit of the perfect ride feel.
