2021 S-Works Aethos - Founder's Edition

Limitada a 300 bicicletas en todo el mundo, la Aethos Founder's Edition es el montaje más ligero que ofrecemos. Con un impresionante trabajo de pintura plateada cepillada, el legendario grupo Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, ruedas Roval Alpinist y puesto de conducción integrado, el conjunto está perfectamente equilibrado con componentes primer nivel. Es la revolución nacida de la inspiración

• Cada detalle, desde el desviador hasta la tapa de la horquilla, han sido diseñados pensando en el estilo, la ligereza y la durabilidad. También lo hemos montado con la nueva combinación de manillar/potencia Alpinist y ruedas de Roval, lo que permite ahorrar aún más peso mientras mejoramos la experiencia de conducción. Todo en pos de la mejor rodada.

• To start, each frame goes through one of the most meticulous painting processes we’ve ever done. The limited-edition brushed liquid silver paint is extremely difficult to apply and to ensure the utmost in quality, after each frame is painted, they are buffed by hand to achieve the brilliant brushed silver finish.

• El cuadro Aethos ha sido diseñado con la combinación perfecta de la máxima sensación de conducción, ligereza y estilo: desde acelerar en pendientes empinadas y descender por las carreteras más técnicas, hasta la comodidad de ir sobre el sillín durante todo el día, incluso en los recorridos más largos para ganarte el café, la Aethos da en el blanco. ¿Pero, cómo? Al reinventar la forma tradicional de bici de carretera que encuentras en las bicicletas del pasado, hemos alterado sutilmente estas formas para ofrecer ganancias masivas en rigidez y equilibrio, todo sin afectar al peso o la durabilidad. Junto con una disposición y un proceso completamente nuevos que hemos perfeccionado durante varias décadas y tendrá el cuadro más ligero que existe (585 gramos, S-Works, talla 56 cm). La Aethos es más que una bicicleta nueva, es la primera de una nueva generación.

• On the components side of things, the Founder’s Edition S-Works Aethos also leaves nothing more to desire. Founders Edition tires, saddle, and ultralight innertubes come together with the custom-finished CeramicSpeed bottom bracket to complement Shimano’s Dura-Ace Di2 disc brake groupset.

• Ultimately, the Founder’s Edition S-Works Aethos features a level of exclusivity and attentiveness to detail that you’re unlikely to find elsewhere. This is a perfectly balanced, top-tier ride. It’s a revolution born of inspiration.

• For once, we’re not in it to win. With Aethos, we stopped worrying about winning, or the way things are supposed to be done, and instead chased the greatest expression of ride quality ever made. Well, we did it, and in staying true to keeping that promise, we broke every design, ride, and race rule along the way. And we’re not sorry. Aethos: Break the Rules.

• The Aethos frame has been designed with the perfect combination of ultimate ride feel, light weight, and style—from accelerating up steep pitches and descending technical descents, to all-day saddle comfort on even the longest coffee rides, the Aethos hits the mark. But how, you ask? By reinventing the traditional road shape found on bikes of the past, we’ve subtly altered these shapes to deliver massive gains in stiffness and balance, all without affecting weight or durability. Pair that with an entirely-new layup and process that we’ve perfected over multiple decades and you have the lightest frame out there (585 grams, S-Works, size 56cm). The Aethos is more than just a new bike, it’s the first of a new breed.

• A featherweight frame is useless without confidence-inspiring ride characteristics, which is why we’ve developed the Aethos to have the perfect balance of front and rear stiffness combined with exceptional ride quality. By studying the flexing and breathing of carbon fiber, we were able to discover groundbreaking findings about how forces flow through frames. Just a few pedal strokes and you’ll realize this sublime ride sets a new standard.
