The Specialized S-Works Aethos Frameset is an ultralight road frame engineered for comfort, climbing prowess, and refined ride quality. Its Rider-First Engineeredâ„¢ carbon layup ensures consistent stiffness and compliance across all sizes, while a sculpted top tube, slender seatstays, and slim fork blades deliver a supple yet lively feel.
