Argon 18 Gallium Frame Optimal Balance, beyond a bike image. Three fundamental variables; Wight, Rigidity and Comfort. At Argon 18 always strive to incorporate all three variables in the most suitable proportions for the desired end result, because in Argon 18 view, all three are in dissociable and necessary. The Gallium is a sub-1000g monocoque frame offering an optimal blend of comfort, stiffness and light weight. It comes with an exclusive, proprietary fork that maximizes the ride characteristics designed into the frame. Explosive acceleration and perfect control in the most demanding situations are hallmarks of the Gallium.

• S3 tube diameter varies with frame size. Objective: to create a very light, well-balanced, super high-performance frame in every size, from XS to XL.

• 6010 HM NanoTech carbon composite   A new mix of extremely high-density, High Modulus unidirectional fibers. Lighter and stiffer.

•  HDS design optimally balanced rigidity, light weight and comfort. Increased stiffness of frame sections stressed by power transfer.

• AFS design easier positioning, ensures proper weight distribution for stability, optimizes handling.

• RPT design Stronger, more rigid rear triangle to better handle power transfer.

• Kevlar reinforced right Chainstay Increased drive side Chainstay stiffness; protects against chain slap impacts.

• CNC carbon dropouts with replaceable derailleur hanger Repairable in case of accident.

• Monocoque frame and Gallium specific monocoque fork   Fork design is coherent with characteristics designed into Gallium frame.
