New Specialized Aethos 2 review

From CyclingNews.com

By Josh Croxton

Specialized has today launched the latest version of its featherweight road bike, the Aethos, with the aptly named Aethos 2.

The American brand has given it a host of subtle-but-significant updates, including a taller head tube and a more relaxed geometry, a longer wheelbase and lower bottom bracket, bigger tyre clearance, and internally routed cables for a clean look.

Given the Aethos has never been focused on racing, you could argue that it’s now the bike that the Aethos should have been all along, but many people will be put off by the changes Specialized has implemented.
