The Specialized Aethos S-Works DI2 is a pinnacle of road bike design, crafted for riders who cherish the pure joy of cycling while demanding top-tier performance. This bike embodies the spirit of riding for the love of riding, without compromising on style or performance.
Key Features:
- Frame Design and Material: The Aethos frame is made from Specialized’s Fact 12r carbon fiber, weighing an astonishing 585 grams (size 56cm) and 315 grams for the fork. This frame is the lightest in its class, achieved through decades of research and development in carbon fiber layup and processing.
- Ride Quality and Stiffness: Designed to deliver the perfect balance of front and rear stiffness combined with exceptional ride quality. By studying the flexing and breathing of carbon fiber, Specialized has made groundbreaking discoveries about how forces flow through frames, resulting in a sublime ride that sets a new standard.

This design ensures excellent handling, whether accelerating up steep pitches or descending technical descents, and provides all-day saddle comfort.
- Groupset: Equipped with Shimano’s legendary Dura-Ace Di2 electronic groupset, known for its precision, reliability, and lightweight construction.
- Wheels: Paired with Roval’s featherweight Alpinist carbon wheels, which further enhance the bike’s weight savings and ride characteristics.
- Seatpost: Features Roval’s all-new Alpinist carbon seatpost, designed to save weight and improve ride quality.
- Attention to Detail: Every component, from the derailleur hangers to the fork expander plug, has been designed with style, weight, and durability in mind.
- Tire Clearance: Offers clearance for up to 32mm tires, providing versatility for different riding conditions.
- Aesthetics: Maintains a classically understated yet stylish design, departing from the trend of aero tubing and integrated stems.
