Looking at a new bike and would love to hear from owners who have had either of these for a while. Aethos Expert (Ultegra Di2) - size 51 SuperSix Evo 2 (Ultegra Di2) - size 54 Looking for something relatively light and fast. Absolutely live for climbs but around me it is more rolling. Don’t race…

Can’t speak to the Aethos but have a SuperSix Evo 1 since March this year. I live on the south edge of the Lake District and have done the Fred 6 times and Audax’s up to 1,000km. My recent previous bikes have been a Cipollini NK1K and a Bond. The SuperSix Evo is a much comfier ride than both of tho…

I’ve had both, for a long enough time to evaluate (more than 6 months), and also been riding both of them extensively on climbs. Aethos - feels more lively SuperSix Gen 4 - Fast as hell, super stable, less lively General thoughts: Both feel just as flexy, I didn’t feel that the SuperSix was not…

Appreciate the insight - really useful.

[image] Peter_Graham: Pro Vibe Alloy Pursuit 36cm bar which was about £80. There is a 4cm flare on them which means the hoods are 30cm centre to centre. i believe nominal size for shimano handlebars is center to center at the hoods. so the bars would be 36 at the hoods and wider at the drops…

[image] TomW86: SSE Concerns: Uncomfortable, can’t buy narrower bars at the moment, PITA maintenance due to integration I have an SSE4 and don’t have these issues. It’s a very comfortable bike, in both ride quality and fit. I built mine from the frameset with an Enve Aero bar (37 hoods, 42 dr…

The drops aren’t vertical so when the brakes are mounted in line with drops they are naturally angled towards each other at the top. So the tips of the brake levers are about 42cm apart, the mounting point on the bars is about 36cm and the centre of the tops is 30cm apart.

I bought a SuperSix Evo frameset to replace my old frameset. The main reason for this is because I wanted a frame that can do it all, climbing and aero. A lot of frame manufacturers have moved away from making a separate climbing bike and an aero bike now because they found that the two were mouldin…

I also have both (SSE since February / Aethos since September). I really like both, and don’t think that you can go wrong. That said, the SSE is my N and the Aethos is my +1. My Aethos is external cable routed, to make it an easier “travel” bike than the SSE. I believe I said it somewhere else on t…

If you look at the numbers of the two bikes, the SSE is almost a size larger than equivalent Specialised, for the same “size”. I ride 56 on Specialized. but had to size down to a 54 on Cannondale.
