✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 4 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . Caveat: Chainset is a Force E1 48/35 with a 10-33 cassette. Size 56 geometry row. Clearance is Specialized's stated 35mm for the Aethos 2 frame, confirmed by the 'Max Tire Size/Width 35 mm' line in the Aethos 2 user manual Specialized links from this page. That manual also lists 'Front Rack: No', 'Rear Rack: No' and 'Front/Rear Fender: No', so both mounts are recorded as absent. Categorised as endurance on Specialized's own 'Performance Endurance' fit label for this bike, not race. Specialized prints no model year on this page; 2026 reflects the current UK line-up as listed.
