The Aethos 2 Expert SRAM Force AXS is built for experienced road riders who want the lightest, most responsive bike possible for climbs like Myra Canyon or long days out on Okanagan valley routes. It suits cyclists who already understand fit and performance and are looking for a race-calibre build with wireless shifting rather than an entry point into road cycling.

Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

Getting your Aethos 2 dialled in starts with proper fit — our team will set your saddle height, fore-aft position, and cockpit reach to match your riding style, and can help with cleat alignment if you're running clipless pedals. We'll also set tire pressure appropriate for the tubeless-ready S-Works Turbo 700x28 tyres and Roval C38 wheels based on your weight and the roads you're riding. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online.
