The all-new Specialized Aethos 2<\/a> landed just a few weeks ago, and it’s now a taller, longer, and comfier version of its acclaimed original, as Specialized aims to make one of its best road bikes<\/a> even more appealing.<\/p>\n

However, with the Aethos 2, Specialized has focused on the premium end of the market, and the Ultegra Di2 Aethos 2 Pro<\/a> starts at \u00a37,249 and rises to a whopping \u00a311,499.00 with the range-topping S-Works model, equipped with a choice of either SRAM Red<\/a> or Shimano Dura-Ace Di2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s not all doom and gloom, because with the release of the Aethos 2, there are some insane deals on the first-gen model. If you can live without the latest version, these deals are worth grabbing fast.<\/p>\n

Currently, at Balfes Bikes, the Specialized Aethos Comp is discounted to just \u00a32,999<\/a>\u2014a huge 29% off the \u00a34,250 RRP. Alongside this at Sigma Sports, you can get the Specialized Aethos Sport reduced by 38%<\/a>, down to just \u00a32,799, a saving of \u00a31,751 on the RRP of \u00a34,550.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We loved the original Aethos and awarded it a perfect 5 out of 5-star review; it also grabbed a much-coveted spot in the Cycling Weekly Editors’ Choice Awards. Michelle Arthurs-Brennan was full of plaudits for the Aethos, saying, “Every time I climb onto the Aethos, it feels like coming home. The ride quality gave me everything I want from a bike”. And Michelle continued her praise of the Specialized, adding, “I absolutely love this bike, of all the bikes I’ve tested this year, it is the one that makes me want to stay out all day the most.”<\/p>\n

The new Aethos 2 is absolutely stunning, but it packs a wallet-busting price, and the Aethos 1 is where the real value for money lies.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been drooling over an Specialized Aethos then these deals are as good as it gets, and suggest grabbing your’s while you can, as the sizing options are limited and seem to be changing daily too.<\/p>\n

Even with Black Friday and Cyber Monday just around the corner, running this year from the 28th November to 1st December, its unlikely these models will last until then, or get any cheaper.<\/p>\n

These Aethos deals are UK only, but below you’ll find the best prices on the Aethos in your territory.<\/p>\n
