Argon 18 Krypton Rival AXS Road Bike
Higher performance, more features, and ready for endless miles of adventure. Designed for speed and comfort on all surfaces, the all-new Argon 18 Krypton Rival AXS Road Bike features increased tyre clearance for greater versatility, a downtube storage compartment for tools and gear, and shorter chainstays for a more responsive ride.
3D System: Ensuring the perfect fit without sacrificing safety, steerer stiffness, or aesthetics, the 3D System extends the headtube to offer a wider range of positioning options. With up to three head tube extension heights per frame size, it eliminates stiffness loss typically seen with traditional spacers, maintaining precise handling in all positions. The streamlined design includes custom 3D caps for each extension height, combining functionality with refined aesthetics.
Storage Optimisation System: Featuring an innovative layup design, this system allows access to tube space for integrated storage of equipment and nutrition, keeping essentials within reach while maintaining aerodynamics.
Endurance Geometry: Balancing stability and comfort with a relaxed rider position, the endurance geometry provides a smooth ride that remains true to Argon 18’s performance-driven heritage.
Topological Compliance System: Using a proprietary design process, this method delivers exceptional vertical compliance, dampening road vibrations while preserving maximum stiffness. Each bike model with TCS technology undergoes individual analysis to optimise frame topology and carbon layup.
Argon Fit System: Tailored for all riders, the Argon Fit System adjusts geometry for each frame size, ensuring optimal performance and positioning, delivering a perfect fit for every rider.
