Key Quotes
This $4,800, 17.2-pound Aethos—the base model—is one of the finest road bikes, of any price, I’ve ridden in my long testing career.

Much like an iPhone, it appears sleek and minimal on the outside, but with incredible technology and performance hiding inside.

The Aethos is crazy light.

It’s one of a small number of test bikes I’ve missed since the day I handed it back.

The result is the new Specialized Aethos. A concept that goes against the status quo and may revolutionise how bikes are designed and built in the future.

The Specialized Aethos Expert all-road bike in review

août 2022 · By

Our test team’s expectations of the Specialized Aethos Expert were very high. After all, the Specialized S-Works Aethos won our previous road bike group test by a large margin, albeit with a few upgrades. We put the stock Expert model featuring ULTEGRA Di2 components and a classic two-piece cockpit to the test to see if this model can fare just as well as an all-road bike, comparing it to six of this year’s best all-road models.

Points forts
  • First-class handling

  • Quick acceleration

  • Pleasant level of vibration damping

  • Lots of all-round potential with the right upgrades

Points faibles
  • Tires are too skinny and offer limited reserves

  • Lack of integration

Specialized Aethos Comp review: More affordable, more weight, still magical - CyclingTips

août 2021 · James Huang

Even an extra 100 g and heavy parts can’t dull this frame's luster.

Points forts
  • Superb chassis efficiency and handling, excellent ride quality, generous tire clearance, classically understated aesthetics, headache-free cable routing, proprietary (almost) nothing, SRAM Rival AXS works just as well as Red and Force.

Points faibles
  • Heavier than some might like, mediocre (and poorly built) wheelset, almost impossible to get.
