Product details

Specialized S-Works Aethos 2 Sram Red AXS: Specialized's lightest production bike

The Specialized S-Works Aethos 2 Sram Red AXS is built around the S-Works Aethos 2 frame in FACT 12r carbon which, at 595 grams, is the world's lightest production road frame. But weight was never the goal: Aethos 2 is made for the pure pleasure of riding on the road, with a responsive, agile and precise bike that feels like part of the rider, uphill and downhill.

Data-driven geometry and hidden cable routing

The geometry was optimised using data from thousands of riders, to offer an efficient yet sustainable position even on long rides. The frame features hidden cable routing, a threaded BSA bottom bracket that is easier to maintain over time, and increased tyre clearance compared with the first Aethos, accommodating 30 mm tyres for more comfort and grip.

SRAM RED AXS E1 and Roval Rapide CLX III wheels

The build is top of the range: 12-speed SRAM RED AXS E1 drivetrain with Quarq power meter crankset, RED hydraulic disc brakes and a headset with CeramicSpeed SLT bearings. The tubeless Roval Rapide CLX III wheels, with ARRIS composite spokes, work with the integrated Roval Alpinist II cockpit. It weighs 6.28 kg in size 56.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the S-Works Aethos 2 weigh?

The S-Works Aethos 2 frame alone in FACT 12r weighs 595 grams; the complete bike in this SRAM RED AXS build weighs 6.28 kg in size 56, without pedals.

What is the difference from the Aethos 2 Pro?

The S-Works version uses FACT 12r carbon, lighter than the Pro's FACT 10r, the SRAM RED groupset instead of Force, Rapide CLX III wheels with composite spokes and CeramicSpeed bearings.

What tyres can it take?

The second generation's tyre clearance accommodates road tyres up to 30 mm, fitted as standard: more comfort and grip on rough tarmac, without sacrificing rolling speed.

How do I choose the right size?

Start from your height and inseam and compare them with the Specialized geometry chart. For a precise choice, a bike fit is worthwhile, as it also takes into account flexibility, reach and your usual position.
