Built from 46 years of accumulated knowledge and skill, the Aethos Sport's design pays homage to a simple, pure love of cycling, offering a perfect balance of featherweight performance, enticing ride quality, and timeless aesthetics.

Meanwhile, the resilient DT Swiss R470 disc wheels add yet another layer of unquestionable sturdiness. Fast track to exhilaration with the Aethos' robust specification.
But the Aethos story doesn't end with performance. This premium bicycle has been created to offer a sublime, new standard ride quality.
