The Aethos began with a singular moment of human insight: frames "breathe" under load. This revolutionary Flow State Design uses machine intelligence to sculpt tube shapes, resulting in the 705-gram FACT 10r carbon frame. This is the lightest road bike in its class. This is not just a lightweight bike; it’s a new approach to bike design that delivers a sublime, responsive, and confidence-inspiring ride quality, proving that a bike can be light without sacrificing stability.
The geometry has been rigorously refined using decades of Body Geometry data to create a performance endurance fit that works for more riders than ever. Confidence is baked into the handling. A 7mm longer wheelbase and a 0.5° slacker headtube ensure nimble, intuitive handling and superior stability on descents. Rolling on Roval C38 wheels and featuring the ultra-clean SRAM Force AXS electronic drivetrain, the Aethos 2 is a lightweight, capable climber and an assertive descender, all packaged in a versatile, precision-engineered machine.
