Specialized Aethos 2 Expert AXS: Pure Road Feel with Modern Electronic Precision
The Specialized Aethos 2 Expert AXS is built for riders who value how a bike feels above all else. With an impossibly light 705-gram FACT 10r carbon frame, the Aethos 2 isn’t chasing aero numbers or race-only stiffness. Instead, it delivers a responsive, supple, and perfectly balanced ride that feels invisible beneath you. It’s a road bike designed to make every mile better, smoother, and more engaging.
Key Benefits for Riders
Ultra-Light FACT 10r Carbon Frame That Disappears Beneath You
The heart of the Aethos 2 Expert is its FACT 10r carbon frame and fork, engineered with Rider-First technology to ensure identical ride quality across every frame size. The result is effortless climbing, instant acceleration, and a lively feel that rewards smooth pedaling without ever feeling harsh.
Ride Quality Over Rules
By breaking traditional race-bike design constraints, Specialized created a frame that blends stiffness and compliance in near-perfect balance. The Aethos 2 feels quick and energetic when you push the pace, yet smooth and forgiving on rough pavement, reducing fatigue on long rides and making big days feel smaller.
SRAM Force AXS Electronic Drivetrain
The SRAM Force AXS electronic drivetrain delivers crisp, wireless shifting with minimal effort and exceptional reliability. Paired with powerful Force hydraulic disc brakes, it offers confident braking and precise gear changes in all conditions. The wide-range 10–33t cassette gives you flexibility for steep climbs and fast group rides alike.
Roval C38 Carbon Wheels for Balance and Control
Roval C38 carbon wheels provide an ideal mix of low weight, stability, and efficiency. With a modern 21mm internal width, they pair perfectly with 28c tires to enhance comfort, grip, and cornering confidence without dulling the bike’s lively character.
Performance-Endurance Geometry with Modern Tire Clearance
The Aethos 2 Expert features a refined performance-endurance fit that keeps you comfortable for long hours while remaining responsive and engaging. Clearance for 700x28 tires improves ride quality and traction, making the bike equally at home on smooth tarmac and broken pavement.
Clean Integration and Premium Touch Points
A Roval Alpinist carbon cockpit, carbon seatpost, and Body Geometry saddle enhance comfort and control, while hidden cable routing and a threaded bottom bracket keep the bike quiet, clean, and easy to maintain for years of riding.
Why Choose the Specialized Aethos 2 Expert AXS?
If you want a road bike that prioritizes connection, balance, and pure riding enjoyment, the Specialized Aethos 2 Expert AXS delivers in every way. Lightweight, beautifully tuned, and equipped with refined electronic shifting, it’s the perfect choice for riders who ride for the love of the road, not just the numbers.
