5/26/2023 0 Comments Argon 18 krypton![]() While the Krypton CS and GF share the same geometry numbers, the Krypton GF gets a higher performance carbon layup that saves a claimed 300g from the frameset. Using the 0mm cap gives the Krypton a relaxed-but-fast race bike position while the 30mm cap creates a tall comfortable riding position. With the new fully integrated 3DPLUS headtube system, featuring 0mm, +15mm and +30mm positions, riders can choose their preferred stack without the need of spacers. By fitting a bike with strain gauges and accelerometers, Argon 18 has been able to replicate road-induced vibrations and carry out testing for different frames and forks to find the most comfortable combinations.Īrgon 18's 3D system shows its full potential on the Krypton. Engineers sought to create a bike that offers vibration dampening through carbon layup optimisation alone using a concept called Topological Compliance System. Scroll down for our roundup of the 2020 range.Īrgon 18 has flexed its carbon expertise to balance efficient power transfer, comfort and weight which is demanded by today's endurance road bikes. Until recently, Argon 18 was the sponsors of UCI WorldTour team Astana Pro Team, and before that, title sponsor of Bora-Argon 18. Argon is currently the sponsor for Cycling Canada, Australia Cycling Team, Danish National Track Team, HUUB Wattbike p/b Vita Coco as well as several triathlon and Ironman athletes. By doing this, it has been able to produce super-light frames that are claimed to make no sacrifices in precision handling or snappy acceleration.Īrgon 18 has been heavily involved in racing since its beginning and succeeded in triathlons, track and WorldTour racing. Through expansive research and development in its Montreal-based facilities, Argon is pushing the limits in frame design working with a slew of overseas manufacturers to perfect the carbon construction process itself.
