A lovely green S-Works Aethos, perfect for long rides and climbing picturesque mountain passes. We had the pleasure of building this one up with a Sram Red AXS groupset, and a robust wheelset ready for the long haul. Not a weight weenie build in the least, but absolutely race ready, weighing in at 6.9kg (15.21 lbs)

This frame has a stunning emerald green paint job. The fork has a matte black fade on the lower portions of the legs which adds a really nice contrast.

The Roval Alpinist SL cockpit has a clean matte texture with a glossy logo, complimenting the matte accents on the fork very nicely. The integrated computer mount adds an extra touch of class. 

Chris King hubs laced to ENVE 3.4 AR rims with Sapim Cx-Ray spokes. The wider AR rims along with the one piece Chris King axle makes this a very stable wheelset that handles incredibly well. Who doesn't like that angry bee sound?

Sram Red AXS groupset with a 48-35 combo up front and a 10-28 cassette in back. This setup offers a really nice range to work with no matter the terrain.

The cranks are topped off with a set of Time XPRO 15 pedals. These feature a carbon body, along with Ceramic Speed bearings and a hollow ti axle, making them some of the lightest on the market.
