BIKE FRAME GRAVEL ARGON18 DARK MATTER
PLEASE NOTE: the price refers to the frame only
We wanted a bike that offered maximum safety together with racing behavior, a bike that could seem as playful and responsive on dirt as it is on the road.
Our geometry offers a fork rake specific to the size of the frame, to allow a tight steering space on more technical routes and, with an eye to driving quality, Dark Matter is characterized by chainstays designed to flex and dissipate the shock.
You will also get three head tube extension heights for each frame size with our optimized 3D + system: 0mm, 15mm and 30mm.
Ideal for cyclists looking for agile performance and responsiveness on all terrains.
Our modular cable console allows for maximum versatility, to put rider comfort first without sacrificing performance. Designed for electronic (wireless or wired) and mechanical groups, our system allows intuitive cable routing for maximum shifting and braking efficiency. The interchangeable parts of the console are easily replaceable to ensure the longevity of the frame during the updating of the groups.
The dirt road poses unique challenges for cyclists, therefore it requires unique frame characteristics. Our gravel geometry is based on our endurance geometry, which derives directly from our series of road races, which means that handling, responsiveness and position ready for the race are fundamental. Both dirt and resistance require a longer wheelbase than a high performance road bike, which you will see on both Krypton and Dark Matter. The Dark Matter features a higher bottom bracket, an inclined head tube angle and a fork adjusted to adapt the precision of our driving characteristic to a wider window (from 28 to 32c); both for driving quality and to avoid overlapping the tips on the twists of more technical routes. The gravel geometry also has a slightly more vertical position, offering a greater degree of comfort on rougher surfaces and long-haul routes.
