Description

The S-Works Aethos is equal parts performance climbing bike and demon-quick daily driver. With a ludicrously low weight of 585 grams, the S-Works Aethos allows for builds under 13 pounds with parts that won't evaporate underneath you with use. While there are a lot of lightweight climbing bikes out there, none of them has the handling and ride quality that the S-Works Aethos brings to the table.

Excellent corning manners, good power transfer and a surprisingly comfortable ride all work together to make the S-Works Aethos the kind of bike you can confidently reach for every day.

With our unmatched experience in bringing dream rides to life, Above Category is the perfect partner to create your uniquely special S-Works Aethos.
