Specialized Aethos 2 Expert: Pure Road Feel, Perfectly Refined
The Specialized Aethos 2 Expert is built for riders who care deeply about how a bike feels on the road. With a remarkably light 705-gram FACT 10r carbon frame, the Aethos 2 isn’t about chasing aero numbers or race-only stiffness. It’s about delivering a responsive, supple, and perfectly balanced ride that disappears beneath you and turns every mile into something special.
Key Benefits for Riders
Ultra-Light FACT 10r Carbon Frame
The heart of the Aethos 2 Expert is its FACT 10r carbon frame and fork, engineered with Rider-First technology to ensure consistent ride quality across every size. The result is instant acceleration, effortless climbing, and a lively road feel without harshness.
Ride Quality That Sets the Benchmark
By breaking traditional race-bike design rules, Specialized created a frame that blends stiffness and compliance in perfect harmony. The Aethos 2 Expert feels quick and energetic when you push the pedals, yet smooth and forgiving over rough pavement, helping reduce fatigue on long rides.
Shimano Ultegra Di2 Electronic Shifting
The Shimano Ultegra Di2 drivetrain delivers fast, precise, and reliable electronic shifting with minimal effort. Paired with powerful Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes, it provides confident braking and flawless gear changes in all weather and road conditions.
Roval C38 Carbon Wheelset
Roval C38 carbon wheels strike an ideal balance between low weight, stability, and efficiency. With a 21mm internal width, they pair perfectly with modern 28c tires to enhance comfort, traction, and control without sacrificing responsiveness.
Refined Endurance Geometry with Modern Tire Clearance
The performance-endurance geometry offers stable, confidence-inspiring handling while remaining sharp and engaging. Clearance for 700x28 tires improves ride comfort and grip, making the Aethos 2 Expert ideal for long days in the saddle.
Premium Contact Points and Clean Integration
A Roval Alpinist carbon cockpit, carbon seatpost, and Body Geometry saddle ensure comfort and control, while hidden cable routing and a threaded bottom bracket keep the bike clean, quiet, and easy to maintain.
Why Choose the Aethos 2 Expert?
If you want a road bike that prioritizes connection, balance, and pure riding enjoyment, the Specialized Aethos 2 Expert delivers in every way. Lightweight, beautifully tuned, and equipped with proven electronic shifting, it’s the ideal choice for riders who ride not just to go fast, but for the love of the ride itself.
