2021 Bicicleta S-Works Aethos - Founder's Edition

Não nos entenda mal, somos todos a favor das corridas. As principais etapas do Grand Tour, Classic’s Monuments - estão em nosso DNA. Mas, às vezes, pedalar simplesmente por pedalar, pedalar pelo amor por pedalar, é exatamente o que precisamos. E é para isso que vive a Aethos. Claro, não perde em nada quando se trata de desempenho e ainda acabou por ser o quadro mais leve que existe, sem comprometer o estilo. Aethos: bilhões de cálculos em busca de uma coisa - o pedal perfeito.

• O quadro da Aethos foi projetado com a combinação perfeita de pilotagem definitiva, leveza e estilo - desde a escalada em subidas íngremes e descidas técnicas até o conforto do selim durante todo o dia, mesmo nas viagens mais longas, a Aethos supera expectativas. Mas como, você pergunta? Ao reinventar as formas tradicionais encontradas nas bicicletas de estrada clássicas, alteramos sutilmente essas formas para oferecer ganhos massivos em rigidez e equilíbrio, tudo sem afetar o peso ou a durabilidade. Combine isso com um layout e processo de construção totalmente novos que aperfeiçoamos ao longo de várias décadas e você terá o quadro mais leve do mercado (585 gramas, S-Works, tamanho 56 cm). A Aethos é mais do que apenas uma nova bicicleta, é a primeira de uma nova geração.

• To start, each frame goes through one of the most meticulous painting processes we’ve ever done. The limited-edition brushed liquid silver paint is extremely difficult to apply and to ensure the utmost in quality, after each frame is painted, they are buffed by hand to achieve the brilliant brushed silver finish.

• Um quadro peso pena é inútil sem características de pilotagem que inspirem confiança, o motivo pelo qual desenvolvemos a Aethos para ter o equilíbrio perfeito entre a rigidez frontal e traseira combinadas com uma qualidade de pilotagem excepcional. Estudando profundamente o comportamento da fibra de carbono, fomos capazes de fazer descobertas revolucionárias sobre como as forças atuam nos quadros. Nas primeiras pedaladas você irá perceber que esse pedal sublime estabelece novos padrões.

• On the components side of things, the Founder’s Edition S-Works Aethos also leaves nothing more to desire. Founders Edition tires, saddle, and ultralight innertubes come together with the custom-finished CeramicSpeed bottom bracket to complement Shimano’s Dura-Ace Di2 disc brake groupset.

• Cada detalhe, da gancheira do quadro ao plug de extensão do garfo foram projetados com estilo, leveza e durabilidade em mente. Nós também o equipamos com o novo combo canote e guidão de carbono e rodas Alpinist da Roval, economizando ainda mais peso e melhorando a qualidade da pilotagem. Tudo em busca do pedal perfeito.

• Ultimately, the Founder’s Edition S-Works Aethos features a level of exclusivity and attentiveness to detail that you’re unlikely to find elsewhere. This is a perfectly balanced, top-tier ride. It’s a revolution born of inspiration.

• For once, we’re not in it to win. With Aethos, we stopped worrying about winning, or the way things are supposed to be done, and instead chased the greatest expression of ride quality ever made. Well, we did it, and in staying true to keeping that promise, we broke every design, ride, and race rule along the way. And we’re not sorry. Aethos: Break the Rules.

• 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. 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. Pair that with an entirely-new layup and process that we’ve perfected over multiple decades and you have the lightest frame out there (585 grams, S-Works, size 56cm). The Aethos is more than just a new bike, it’s the first of a new breed.

• A featherweight frame is useless without confidence-inspiring ride characteristics, which is why we’ve developed the Aethos to have the perfect balance of front and rear stiffness combined with exceptional ride quality. By studying the flexing and breathing of carbon fiber, we were able to discover groundbreaking findings about how forces flow through frames. Just a few pedal strokes and you’ll realize this sublime ride sets a new standard.
