Premium Materials for Maximum Performance
Crafted from aerospace-grade 7075 aluminum with T6 heat treatment, this adapter is exceptionally strong while remaining incredibly light. The front adapter weighs just 7.2 grams, and the rear adapter a mere 6.9 grams (including screws), making it one of the lightest options available in the market. Despite its featherlight weight, the adapter provides uncompromising durability, ensuring that it stands up to the rigors of high-performance cycling.
Precision Engineering: Full CNC Machining
What truly sets this brake adapter apart is its precision. Each adapter is fully CNC machined, guaranteeing unparalleled accuracy and a flawless fit. This level of craftsmanship ensures that your brake caliper is perfectly aligned with the rotor, providing optimal braking force and modulation. Whether you’re descending steep mountain passes or navigating tight city streets, you’ll experience reliable, consistent braking performance, allowing you to ride with confidence.
Enhanced Installation and Durability
Installation is made simple and secure with two titanium alloy screws that come standard with the adapter. These screws not only add to the overall lightness but also enhance corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity in all weather conditions. The adapter requires a torque setting of 6-8Nm for proper installation, providing a secure and stable fit. The T25 Torx tool, which is commonly used in bike maintenance, makes the installation process easy and straightforward, allowing you to get back on the road in no time.
Stylish Color Options for a Personalized Look
In addition to its superior functionality, the Specialized SL8 Aethos Brake Adapter is available in a wide range of vibrant colors—Black, Silver, Gold, Red, Pink, Purple, Green, Cyan, and Orange—so you can match your bike’s aesthetic. Whether you prefer a sleek, understated look or want to add a pop of color, these options let you customize your bike to reflect your personal style.
Versatile Compatibility for Specialized Models
This brake adapter is specifically designed for the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 and Aethos models, ensuring a seamless fit. The front adapter is compatible with Shimano and SRAM flat-mount brake systems for converting between 140mm and 160mm rotors, providing flexibility for your braking needs. The rear adapter supports Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo flat-mount brakes, allowing for an increase to a 160mm rotor size for enhanced stopping power.
