If a mission statement were assigned to the Argon 18 E-119 Tri+ Frameset 2018, it would be that the Canadian company wanted to offer the athlete the best possible position, combined with most efficient aerodynamics, along with unmatched comfort.
Mission accomplished.
Simply add wheels, saddle and a groupset and you have one of the best speed weapons in the business.
Argon 18 defined a geometry that allows for optimal positioning for riders of different physical types, preferences and racing styles. Very fine and accurate adjustments can be dialed in quickly and simply for the kind of comfort and biomechanics that let you stay in an aero tuck longer, the key to faster times. Every frame dimension has been designed for maximum control in an aero tuck, even in difficult conditions.
The Argon 18 E-119 Tri + boasts a range of features and you get more than just a frame. Included in this package is:
Argon 18 E-119 Tri + frame
