Aethos Pro - SRAM Force eTAP AXS

The Aethos line promises three things—exceptional light weight, perfectly-balanced ride characteristics, and undeniable style. This Aethos Pro delivers on all fronts through billions of calculations in the pursuit of the perfect ride. 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 coffee rides, the Aethos hits the mark. By reinventing the traditional road shape found on bikes of the past, subtle alterations deliver massive gains in stiffness and balance, all without affecting weight or durability. An entirely new layup and process perfected over multiple decades results in the lightest frame available at just 585 grams in size 56cm S-Works. A featherweight frame is useless without confidence-inspiring ride characteristics. The Aethos has been developed to have the perfect balance of front and rear stiffness combined with exceptional ride quality. By studying the flexing and breathing of carbon fiber, groundbreaking findings about how forces flow through frames were discovered. Just a few pedal strokes reveal 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 mind. The bike is spec'd with SRAM's intuitive Force eTAP AXS that delivers clean, crisp shifts and Roval's Alpinist wheels mated to DT Swiss 350 hubs. Roval's all-new Alpinist carbon seatpost and wheels further save weight and improve ride characteristics. Everything is in pursuit of the perfect ride.
