Argon 18 E117 Disc Ultrega / 105 Bicycle Matte Black

Argon 18 E117 Disc Ultrega / 105 Bicycle Matte Black 

The Argon 18 E-117 Tri frameset was released simultaneously with the E-119, and both are successors to the E-118 Next. The E-117 is the UCI-legal version for amateur triathletes. It still glides quickly, but with similar geometry, more adjustability from the front end, less aggressive tube shape, simpler brakes and a more comfortable ride.

The seatpost offers a wide range of adjustment. The seat angle is 78 degrees, but the clamp sits on a rail that allows you to move the clamp forward or backward 28mm. You can be incredibly aggressive, totally conservative, or put yourself somewhere in between.

Argon 18 loves aerodynamics and uses it to serve practical purposes. The BB86 bottom bracket allows them to build more aerodynamic tubes and configure the width of the chainstays for greater stiffness and allow for wider rims and tires. The shape is unique to the Argon 18 and is specifically designed to accommodate these points. The front derailleur mount is forged aluminum. The frame is compatible with electronic and mechanical groups. The Di2 battery is hidden in the seat post.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

FRAME TECHNOLOGIES

Optimal balance

It is the subtle alchemy of lightness, stiffness, comfort and aerodynamics.

Integration

Argon 18 solutions are tailored to the specific needs of cyclists, both men and women, at all levels of competition. Plus, ever-evolving innovations are easy to implement and use.

Aerodynamics

In high-performance cycling, every second counts and aerodynamics can change everything. That is why any reduction in resistance, no matter how small, is of the utmost importance.

Argon 18 tests its bikes in real wind conditions, ensuring that all of its products are infinitely more accurate and competitive.

AFS - Argon Fit System

It is designed to provide consistent performance and optimal ergonomics for runners of all physical dimensions.

3D system

It's a smart mechanical solution that extends the head tube for more positioning options. Three steerer tube positions are possible for each frame size; This increases stiffness by 5% at 15mm and by 11% at 25mm, compared to traditional spacers. With this system, the height of the handlebar can be perfectly adjusted to suit the needs and preferences of each rider.

Positioning and geometry

In Argon 18 they divide the painting into eight different sections, each with a specific role. As the length of the frame increases, the length of each section also increases. This preserves the balanced proportions of the bike and ensures that all frames, regardless of size, have ideal ergonomics and flawless handling.

HDS - Dual Horizontal System

Argon 18 has managed to combine stiffness and comfort, qualities that are normally considered opposite.

The basic idea is simple: frame tubes are designed for a specific purpose.
