Argon18 Gallium 2010
Gallium
Easy positioning, accurate steering
Horizontal Dual System: Tube size, shape, and wall thickness as well as
composite formulation vary according to the intended design objectives.
Maximum lateral rigidity in the lower portion of the frame: chainstays,
downtube, bottom bracket area and headtube. Optimized vibration
damping in upper portion: top tube, seatstays. Explosive acceleration and
comfort in all conditions.
3D Headtube*: allows for three effective headtube lengths per frame size, for a more upright, relaxed position without reducing the frames rigidity. Three positions are available, 0mm, 10mm or 20mm. Rider position can evolve over time, without affecting the frames characteristics.
AFS road geometry. The Argon 18 Fit System relies on years of knowledge about the cycle geometries required to make a bike as efficient and enjoyable to ride as possible. Argon 18 bikes are more comfortable and sure-footed because the rider is properly positioned.
Integrated design: complementary fork and seatstay design: the Ga31
monocoque carbon fork is an Argon 18 exclusive. It is designed to enhance the frames intrinsic characteristics. Its vertical compliance and lateral stiffness complement the rear triangles properties perfectly, giving the Gallium a unified, all of a piece feel, capable of powerful, immediate accelerations.
