Don’t get us wrong, we’re all for racing.

The upper echelons of the Grand Tour, the Monuments of the Classicstheyre in our DNA. But sometimes, riding just for the sake of riding, riding for the love of cycling, is exactly what we need. And this is what the Aethos lives for. Sure, it hasnt compromised on performance and is the lightest frame out there, but without compromising on style. Aethos: Billions of calculations in pursuit of one thingthe perfect ride.

And with this frameset, you have the perfect canvas to start creating your dream bike.

• The Aethos frame has been designed with the perfect blend of ride feel, lightness, and stylefrom accelerating up steep grades and descending technical trails, to saddle comfort on longer rides, the Aethos does it. How, you ask? By reinventing the traditional road shape found on bikes of the past, weve subtly altered these shapes to deliver huge improvements in stiffness and balance, without compromising weight or durability. Add in an all-new layup and a process weve perfected over decades, and you have the lightest frame out there (585 grams, S-Works, size 56cm). The Aethos is more than just a new bike, its the first of a new breed.

• An ultralight frame is useless without confidence-inspiring handling characteristics, so we developed the Aethos to have the perfect balance of front and rear stiffness combined with exceptional ride quality. By studying the flex and breathing of carbon fiber, we were able to uncover groundbreaking findings on how forces flow through frames. Just a few pedal strokes and youll realize this sublime ride sets a new standard.

• Every detail, from the derailleur hangers to the fork expander plug, has been designed with style, weight, and durability in mindall in pursuit of the perfect ride.
