Specialized Aethos 2 Expert Force AXS Road Bike 2027

Designed for pure road riding bliss and exceptional climb-conquering efficiency, the Specialized Aethos 2 Expert Force AXS Road Bike is engineered around the lightest frame in its class. Built with a premium FACT 10r carbon frame and Rider-First Engineered philosophy, this lightweight machine delivers explosive acceleration, sublime compliance, and pin-sharp handling across every frame size. Tipping the scales at just 7.22 kg, it is the ultimate choice for passionate road cyclists seeking an unfiltered connection to the road and unmatched climb-focused performance.

Precision Shifting and Carbon Wheel Performance

Equipped with the electronic SRAM Force AXS E1 12-speed groupset, this bike offers crisp, wireless shifting across a versatile 48/35t chainring and 10-33t cassette range. SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes provide confident modulation and reliable stopping power on steep, high-speed descents. The build rolls on lightweight Roval C38 carbon rims paired with fast-rolling 700x30c S-Works Turbo tyres, delivering the perfect balance of aerodynamic efficiency, cornering traction, and dampening comfort on challenging road surfaces.

Refined Cockpit Ergonomics and Smooth Ride Quality

The Aethos 2 prioritises pure ride quality with hidden cable routing and high-end carbon touchpoints that elevate control while maintaining a sleek aesthetic. Featuring a vibration-absorbing Roval Alpinist carbon handlebar, a matching Alpinist carbon seatpost, and a Body Geometry Power Expert saddle with hollow titanium rails, rider fatigue is significantly minimised over long miles in the saddle. Extended tyre clearance and refined geometry ensure a smooth, confident, and responsive ride from local loops to epic mountain passes.
