This stalwart of a bike, the Aethos Comp - Shimano 105 Di2 by Specialized, encapsulates over four decades of unmatched cycling expertise into a machine gloriously crafted for riders who crave sensation – the sensation of a well-balanced ride, the sensation of seamless speed theft, and the sensation of a perfectly styled design. The blend of its unparalleled Shimano 105 Di2 electronic shifting technology and hydraulic disc brakes eagerly waits to deliver exquisite gear shifting on-demand and enhanced stopping power in all weather conditions. Accompanied with the durable and reliable DT Swiss R470 Disc wheels, the rider is always assured of a thrilling yet protected journey towards their destination.

Cleverly integrated within the Aethos frame is an innovative blend of ultimate ride feel, lightweight and style. No matter the journey you embark on – from a challenging acceleration up steep hill to a technical descent that tests your limits, or a sociable coffee ride that stretches across the day, the Aethos redefines your experience with a mesmerising sense of balance and unrivalled stiffness, without trading-off weight or durability. Crafted with a revolutionary layup and processed to perfection, it's no exaggeration to say that this is unarguably one of the lightest frames available in the market today.

What is a bicycle without its stability and ride comfort? None but a mere arrangement of lightweight tubes and components! That's why the Aethos Comp stands apart from the gaggle, with its astoundingly balanced front and rear stiffness harmonised with striking ride comfort. Savour the innovative touch of our carbon fibre studies on the bike's frame, and discover how forces flow through the frame. The sublime concoction of speed, stability and durability is something that you'll feel for yourself in just a few pedal strokes.

Alongside these features, the bike also boasts of ultra-sleek details: a featherweight Alpinist carbon seatpost by Roval for amplified comfort and reduced drag, sturdy derailleur hangers, and a dependable fork expander plug, each uniquely styled, heedless of weight, and raring to last. Welcome to a new chapter of cycling, the Aethos Comp - Shimano 105 Di2.
