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

Dont get us wrong, were all for racing. Grand Tour top steps, Classics Monumentstheyre in our DNA. But sometimes riding simply to ride, riding for the love of riding, is just what we need. And this is what the Aethos lives for. Sure, its given nothing up to performance, and happens to be the lightest frame out there, but with no compromise to style. Aethos: Billions of calculations in the pursuit of one thingthe perfect ride.

And with this frame set, you have the perfect canvas to begin creating your dream ride.

• The Aethos frame has been designed with the perfect combination of maximum handling feel, light weight and style: from accelerating up steep inclines and descending technical descents, to all-day saddle comfort on even the longest rides, the Aethos hits the mark. But how, you ask? By reinventing the traditional road shape found on bikes of the past, we’ve subtly altered these shapes to deliver massive gains in stiffness and balance, all without affecting weight or durability. Combine this with an entirely new layout and process that we’ve perfected over several decades and you have the lightest frame ever (585 grams, S-Works, size 56cm). The Aethos is more than just a new bike, it’s the first of a new generation.

• A featherweight frame is useless without confidence-inspiring ride 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 fibre, we were able to uncover groundbreaking findings about how forces flow through frames. Just a few pedal strokes and you’ll find that this sublime ride sets a new standard.

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