Frame & Fork Set ARGON 18 E-117 2020 Black Matte Red
The ARGON 18 E-117 2020 frame brings together the brand's best value for money, perfect for those who train seriously and with an eye on middle to full distance.
Frame & Fork Set ARGON 18 E-117 2020 Black Red Mat
The Argon 18 E-117 Tri frame set was released at the same time as the E-119, and both are successors to the E-118 Next. The E-117 is the UCI-legal version for amateur triathletes. It still glides fast, but with similar geometry, more adjustability up front, a less aggressive tube shape, simpler brakes and a more comfortable ride.
The seatpost offers a wide adjustment range. The seat angle is 78 degrees, but the clamp rests on a rail that lets you move the clamp forward or backward by 28 mm. You can be incredibly aggressive, totally conservative or somewhere in between.
Argon 18 loves aerodynamics and uses it for practical purposes. The BB86 bottom bracket allows them to build more aero tubes and configure the width of the chainstays for greater stiffness and to allow wider rims and tires. They also designed the V-brakes that hide behind the fork and seats. The shape is unique toArgon 18 and is specially designed to fit these points. The rear brake rests on the seatstays for greater comfort and simplicity, making wheel changes easier. The front derailleur mount is forged aluminum. The frame is compatible with electronic and mechanical groupsets. The Di2 battery is hidden in the seatpost.

FRAME TECHNOLOGIES
Optimum balance
It's the subtle alchemy of lightness, rigidity, comfort and aerodynamics.
Integration
Argon 18 solutions are adapted to the specific needs of male and female cyclists at all levels of competition. What's more, the constantly evolving innovations are easy to install and use.
Aerodynamics
In high-performance cycling, every second counts, and aerodynamics can change everything. That's why any reduction in drag, however small, is of the utmost importance.
Argon 18 tests its bikes in real wind conditions, ensuring that all its products are infinitely more precise and competitive.
AFS - Argon Fit System
It's designed to offer consistent performance and optimal ergonomics to riders of all physical dimensions.
3D System
This is an intelligent mechanical solution that extends the head tube for more positioning options. Three head tube positions are possible for each frame size; this increases rigidity by 5% to 15 mm and 11% to 25 mm, compared with traditional spacers. With this system, handlebar height can be perfectly adjusted to suit the needs and preferences of each individual rider.
Positioning and geometry
In Argon 18, they divide the table into huit different sections, each with a specific role. As the length of the frame increases, so does the length of each section. This preserves the bike's balanced proportions and ensures that all frames, whatever their size, have ideal ergonomics and flawless handling.
HDS - Double Horizontal System
Argon 18 has succeeded in combining rigidity and comfort, qualities that are normally considered opposites.
The basic idea is simple: frame tubes are designed for a specific purpose.
Argon 18 divides the table into two zones along a diagonal line:
1. Tubes in the lower part of the frame are made with more carbon fiber for maximum rigidity, especially in the bottom bracket. This provides a precise, responsive energy transfer unlike any other.
2. The upper frame tubes are made of less flexible carbon fiber to absorb vibrations and ensure maximum comfort on all types of terrain.
