ARGON 18 E-80 FRAMESET- 2009 The Argon 18 E-80 is the successor to the highly vaunted Mercury. Its performance capabilities are by now well established and have set a real benchmark in the demanding disciplines of time-trial racing and triathlon.
The E-80, as the Mercury, has been ridden to many podium places all over the world and has greatly helped establish Argon 18 as a major player in this field.
Fork and rear triangle: optimized for speed The aero-profile frame and E-80 fork were designed to work together in racing situations. The E-80 is a 100% carbon fork, with sufficient compliance dialed in to offset rider fatigue that may result from the aero/triathlon position. The rear triangle complements the fork; the whole is solid, stable and yet very nimble; the rider easily feels as one with the bike. The substantial seat tube cutout shields the rear wheel from airflow and reduces drag. Note: this cutout allows the use of 700x23 tires. 5000 HM Nano-Tech carbon composite Fork and entire rear triangle are 100% carbon fiber, molded in our proprietary molds using the same composite formulation. This carbon formulation exhibits good vibration absorption properties, reducing rider fatigue on long rides Triple-butted aluminum tubes in main triangle Triple-butted aero aluminum tubes yield a lighter frame without loss of the tubeset’s desirable mechanical properties. Top and seat tube size and shape optimized according to the HDS principle, an Argon 18 exclusive. Teardrop-shaped downtube enhances aerodynamic efficiency.
