Save big on this Specialized S-Works Aethos bike built with a complete SRAM Red AXS group and ultralight Roval Alpinist CLX II carbon tubeless wheelset with ceramic bearings. Complete bike weight is 13.98lbs and comes with full warranty. This bike was ridden several times but we consider it in 'like new' condition. This Aethos was bought, built and serviced at Excel Sports it's entire life. Some small cosmetic scruffs on driveside crank arm, the rest of the bike is close to mint.

Let's get the most important fact out of the way, the S-Works Aethos frame weighs 585 grams in a 56cm. This makes it the lightest production frame ever made. Built in a complete package with SRAM Red AXS HRD and Roval Alpinist CLX II wheels it results in a 13.98 pound build that is fully capable for all the requirements of road cycling, even racing. Of course it would be about a couple of pounds below the UCI weight limit. Another fact is that although the S-Works Aethos carries a race geometry, it was engineered and developed to offer the apex cycling experience for the serious enthusiast who appreciates the ultimate in quality and design, with the cleanest aesthetic, an incredible finish, and wondrous ride quality.

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 and most competitive coffee rides, the Aethos hits the mark. This was achieved by reinventing the traditional road tube shapes found on bikes of the past, subtly altering these visual shapes to deliver massive gains in stiffness and balance, all without affecting weight or durability. That visual story appears simple on some level, but it was the application of carbon technology and incredible engineering capabilities to find the stress loads, tube thicknesses, and how to best integrate all of the shapes and engineering requirements in ways you can't see to create the Aethos. This new process, with an entirely-new layup system tapped into the R&D system Specialized has perfected over multiple decades to be the most innovative company in cycling.
