For the endless explorer who doesn't stop because the roads get less familiar.
Core Technologies
3D+
The best mix of handling, stiffness and integration
For our newest generation of frames, we wanted to push our 3D System further by merging it seamlessly with the frame. The fully integrated 3D+ system has become an essential characteristic of our Endurance and Gravel frames. It delivers all the handling and stiffness benefits of the original 3D system in a streamlined version, offering three head tube extension heights for every frame size: 0mm, 15mm and 30mm. This provides a proven stiffness gain of 5% at 15mm and 11% at 30mm, as compared to traditional spacers. It also allows for a larger fit window (60mm of stack adjustment compared with 30 for a traditional setup). As well, the frame integration offers an aero benefit over our traditional 3D System, smoothing the airflow over the handlebar.
Endurance Geometry
All-day performance
Our endurance geometry offers a stable and comfortable ride, while keeping true to the race-ready approach we have toward all of our bikes. Some of the key features of endurance geometry include a longer headtube for a more upright position, engineered to be easier on the back and shoulders for long days on the road; greater tire clearance for more confident handling and comfort; tweaked headtube and raked fork to adjust our hallmark precision handling to that wider tire size windows (28 to 32c); longer wheelbase for increased stability; and a lower bottom bracket, again for increased stability. Endurance geometry must balance the need for pedaling efficiency alongside the main goal of comfort and performance over long distances, for a stable, predictable ride.
Argon Fit System
Find Your Fit
The Argon Fit System is designed to provide riders of all sizes with consistent performance and optimal positioning. Regardless of your build, gender or your riding style, our frames are designed so that your fit will always be efficient and comfortable, ensuring the ultimate in handling. We offer sizing from XXS to XL in all of our road bikes, and XS to XL in our Tri bikes, with each size approached individually from a design and performance perspective. While a lot of manufacturers optimise performance and weight targets for a medium size frame and simply scale up or down, we assess the performance of each size based on the individual character of that particular geometry. For example, even our largest frames have exceptional stiffness without excess weight, to avoid the 'dead' feel found in some XL frames. XS and XXS retain their inherent lightweight qualities, but without excess stiffness, avoiding harsh ride quality.
Modular Cable Console
Maximum compatibility
Our modular cable console allows for maximum versatility, to put the rider’s convenience first without sacrificing performance. Designed for both for electronic (wireless or wired) and mechanical groupsets, our system allows for user-friendly cable routing for maximum shifting and braking efficiency. Interchangeable console parts are easily swapped to ensure longevity of the frame as you upgrade groupsets.
Cyclosportif Layup
Best-in-Class Bikes without Breaking the Bank
We want everyone to experience the true essence of Argon 18 bikes. Newcomers to the sport or seasoned cyclists on a budget choose our Cyclosportif level models because of their proven design platforms, carbon layup derived from our Pro-level models, and performance-oriented handling and ride quality.
