Overseas forums and reviews praised it, so I bought the Aethos + NV 4.5 and rode it for about 3 years.
Fitting and changing parts are too easy, and no one pays attention to where it's parked;
It's light, so even if you attach any parts, it weighs around 6 kilograms.
It climbs uphill well, and it's very convenient to move around quickly. I thought.
The ride quality is also good. When I rode the SL7, I was too tired, but the Aethos could definitely do more work.
But there are a few things that I don't like...
It doesn't seem to maintain speed well, and downhill feels a bit unstable.
The handlebars seemed to turn too quickly, but this is a story that often comes up overseas as well.
If you look at the Velo reviews, it says that it's a bike that makes it difficult to follow the line of the road...
Since the solar power is 100%, I wanted to save more energy on flat ground, and the ride quality is naturally good for bikes like the Aethos.
After SL8, I waited and waited for it to come out, and as soon as it did, I changed the frame exactly.
Wow, was the frame difference really that big??
Maintaining speed on flat ground is so good ㅜㅜ It's so enjoyable to increase the speed from 36-37-39-40 km/h. It's so exciting...
With the Aethos, I felt like the speed dropped too quickly.
And straightness... It feels like running on a railroad track.
That's why downhill is more stable.
Uphill... There's no difference from the Aethos;
It doesn't wobble when dancing, so it moves in a more predictable way.
The ride quality is similar to what I rode on the Aethos last week (this is very important).
If it felt like the SL7, I would have sold it right away and gone back to the Aethos...
I'm going to put the Aethos up for sale.
This was a subjective review from someone who got hit by a bike fever.
