Missförstå oss rätt, vi älskar tävling. Stora lopp, Grand Tours och Monument-lopp – det finns i vårt DNA. Men ibland är allt vi behöver bara att cykla, bara för sakens skull. Och det är var Aethos är skapad för, ren cykling. Det är klart, vi har inte gett upp prestanda och det råkar vara den lättaste ramen som finns, men det har inte kompromissats med stilen. Aethos: Miljontals beräkningar i jakten på den perfekta cykelupplevelsen.

Toppa världens lättaste ram med SRAM:s 12-delade RED eTap AXS växelgrupp och Rovals fjäderlätta Alpinisthjul och du får en perfekt balancerad mästarcykel som inte offrar någonting för ren performance.

• 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.

• Every detail, from the derailleur hangers to the fork expander plug have been designed with style, weight, and durability in mind. We’ve also spec’d it with Roval’s all-new Alpinist carbon seatpost and wheels, further saving weight and improving ride characteristics. Everything in pursuit for the perfect ride.
