The shop's feature list
- Der Rahmen des Aethos 2 wiegt nur 705 g – damit ist es das leichteste Rad seiner Klasse. Aber das Gewicht stand gar nicht im Fokus unserer Überlegungen. Wir haben die Regeln des Rennsports gebrochen, weil wir pures Rennrad-Vergnügen vermitteln wollten: Das Aethos 2 verschwindet förmlich unter dir – es ist einfach unglaublich agil, geschmeidig und raffiniert. Dank der größeren Reifenfreiheit, verbesserten Komponenten und der datenbasierten, passformoptimierten Geometrie kommen jetzt noch mehr Rider in den Genuss dieses überragenden Fahrgefühls. Das Aethos 2 bricht die Regeln, aus Liebe zum Ride.
