Specialized S-Works Aethos - 2024, 49 cm

The 2024 Specialized S-Works Aethos is a masterpiece of modern engineering, designed for the pure joy of riding. Built on the pinnacle FACT 12r carbon frame, this size 49cm rig is the ultimate climbing machine, prioritizing ride quality and weight over aerodynamic gimmicks. This is a truly unique one-of-one frame, featuring a custom "AETHOS" paint detail on the downtube by Bodywork. Built up with premium ENVE carbon handlebars, a Zipp stem, and a Roval carbon seatpost, this frame set (which retails for $4,999 alone) has seen only 500 miles. Professionally maintained and in great condition, it is 100% ready to provide the most responsive and telepathic handling experience on the road.

Integrated Seatpost (ISP) Measurement

 * Current Height: 67cm (Measured from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat post).

 * Adjustment: This frame features a "one-piece" carbon seatpost designed for maximum power transfer. At 67cm, there is still plenty of room for cutting to a lower height if needed.

Why We Love It

 * The Purest Ride: The Aethos was designed to break the rules of traditional aero-bike design, focusing instead on perfect tube shapes that deliver a balanced, stiff, and exceptionally comfortable ride that traditionalists and weight-weenies alike will adore.

 * Custom "Bodywork" Paint: The bespoke "AETHOS" detailing makes this specific bike a collector's item. You won't find another S-Works Aethos in the world with this exact custom touch, making it a standout in any group ride.

 * Featherweight Foundation: With a frame weight of just 2 lbs (1.09kg), this is the perfect starting point for a sub-13 lb "superbuild." It reacts instantly to every pedal stroke, making it a dream on steep Alpine-style switchbacks.

 * Premium Cockpit Upgrades: Outfitted with ENVE carbon bars and a Zipp stem, the front end of this bike is tuned for maximum vibration damping and steering precision, ensuring you stay comfortable during long mountain days.
