Integrated Disc Brakes
Argon 18 introduced the world’s first integrated disc brakes on the E-119 Tri+ Disc, completely hiding the calipers as well as the hydraulic cables and reservoirs, for a clear aero advantage.
DESCRIPTION
Description:
EVERY SECOND. EVERY WATT. EVERY ADVANTAGE.
The E-119 Tri+ gains discs – but that’s just the beginning. In an industry first, we’ve integrated the brake calipers into the frame, to compensate for the aero penalty of the rotors. Integration throughout the design also means a hidden toolkit in the BB, an integrated bento box and a fully re-designed cockpit. That this bike is aero goes without saying – but our focus was on full-system aero integration: bike and rider, plus all carry-ons. The new E-119 Tri+ Disc offers up to a 10W advantage over the previous-generation E-119, considering frame optimization, system integration, and compatibility with advanced aero components, such as wheelsets. When optimal rider position is factored in, using new fit range capabilities, it can add an additional advantage. Taken together, the new E-119 Tri+ Disc can offer a total of up to 17W aero advantage when considering the full bike and rider system.
IDEAL FOR
Triathletes who are laser-focused on all aspects of performance: fit, nutrition, components, power transfer, and the hunt for innovation. This is your race-day weapon.
CORE TECHNOLOGIES
Integrated Toolkit
Our integrated toolkit is located at the BB, the optimal position to provide easy access with no structural or performance penalty. The BB solution also provides the best results in terms of weight position, usability, and accessibility. The weight and placement of the kit doesn’t affect ride quality, being virtually imperceptible to the rider, even when out of the saddle.
Oneness 3.0
Our collaboration with Mat Steinmetz from 51 Speedshop for the redesign of the E-119 Tri+ Disc cockpit resulted in a fit-first approach to provide maximum versatility and adjustability – and a focus on aero optimization of the rider’s position. Quite simply, the most aerodynamic frame possible won’t help if the rider cannot maintain the aero profile for a long race, such as a full Ironman. While our new bar can achieve a +5 cm.
Integrated Nutrition
Many toptube bento boxes are too small for the nutrition needs of a full Ironman. Athletes need to find a solution, so they often place this extra nutrition outside of the bento box – often simply taped to the frame - leading to an aero penalty. Our integrated bento box solves this problem by including a reservoir within the toptube.
Pro Level Layup
We leave no room for compromise when we build bikes for the most demanding and passionate cyclists.
Triathlon and TT Geometry
Tri and TT bikes are focused on aero performance, and the geometry reflects this. To allow the rider to achieve an aggressive aero position, the geometry is designed to put the rider in a more forward position.
Argon Fit System
Argon Fit System is designed to provide riders of all sizes with consistent performance and optimal positioning.
