The Specialized Aethos Expert Di2 is built for riders who love the simple joy of road cycling — where speed, balance, and comfort come together perfectly. Every detail has been engineered to make the bike disappear beneath you, delivering a natural, responsive ride that feels fast and effortless.
The Aethos FACT 10r carbon frame combines low weight with exceptional stiffness and compliance. Using Specialized’s Rider First Engineered™ design, each frame size is tuned to deliver identical ride quality, ensuring a perfect balance of responsiveness and comfort for every rider. Clean hidden cable routing and a threaded bottom bracket add practical durability to the sleek design.
Matched with a FACT 10r carbon fork, the Aethos feels stable and smooth across fast descents and tight corners. The handling is precise yet predictable — ideal for riders who value a bike that reacts instantly to every input.
The Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-speed groupset brings reliable, lightning-fast electronic shifting and consistent braking in all weather conditions. Hydraulic disc brakes ensure smooth, powerful stopping performance with easy modulation, giving total control on mountain descents or tight urban routes.
Rolling on Roval C38 carbon wheels and S-Works Turbo 28mm tyres, the Aethos balances climbing agility with aerodynamic efficiency. The Roval Alpinist carbon handlebar and seatpost keep the weight low while absorbing road vibrations, so you can stay fresh on longer rides.
Weighing just 7.12 kg, the Aethos Expert Di2 proves that performance doesn’t have to come at the cost of comfort. With refined geometry, premium carbon construction, and precision components, it’s a road bike that’s designed to inspire confidence and pure enjoyment on every ride.
The Specialized Aethos Expert Di2 is more than a race bike — it’s a celebration of the ride itself. Built for cyclists who value feel as much as speed, it’s the perfect partner for endless miles of smooth tarmac and sweeping climbs.
