Here you have a threaded bottom bracket, as well as a classic looking cockpit, without the full cable integration that saves a few watts but makes swapping out parts or fitting new cables a bit of a bind. Its versatility is strengthened by Specialized's desire to make the Aethos somewhat more traditional when compared with its out-and-out race bikes. It climbs and descends like a dream and is plenty quick on the flat stuff too. It's numbers are pretty similar to the Tarmac after all.īut this really is bike that excels on long rides over varied terrain. Of course, you could race on this bike, as Kasper Asgreen did during a stage in the 2021 TdF. It offers a quality of ride that's hard to beat not the stiffest or the most aero but rather a blend of properties that make it suited to all-day comfort while still being incredibly agile. Credited with being the lightest production road frame available it's a bike designed less for racing and more for pure enjoyment. Specialized's Aethos made quite the splash on first launch.
