Argon 18 E114 Bike SRAM Red
Argon 18 E-114 Frame 2010 are innovative and exclusive design has won Argon 18 the prestigious Eurobike Award. The bike also received the Institute Design Montréal hotly contested Industrial Design Award. Argon18 has culminated its project Element 114; the new E-114 Time Trial, and Triathlon Frameset. The Argon18 E-114 2010 is a complete integrated Aero and Stemless Fork Aerobar combination that allow for an unprecedented integration of Rider and Machine from both an Aerodynamic and Ergonomic standpoint. This unit of purpose and design extends to the Frame, Fork, Headset, Bullhorn, Aero bars, Brakes, and Levers as well as a Reversible Carbon Seatpost 76/78 degrees. Its frame is a Carbon Composite Monocoque 6006HM.
Overcoming the wind ; it was a bold move to question the wisdom of teardrop shaped tubes and frame sections. Such an aerodynamic improvement required determining which areas of the frame could yield further aero gains. The E-114 2010 radical forms result in a 12% aerodynamic improvement in a headwind and an average 18% aero gain in side winds.
AFS Triathlon/Time Trial geometry is a unique, adapted geometry , with razor sharp steering and unparalleled stability, even in situations where it is impossible to stay on the aerodynamic position with other bikes. Every dimensional aspect of the frame has been defined in order to maximize bike control, at extreme levels of physical exertion.
A New interface between athlete and machine, the AHB5000 Aerobar/handlebar combination is completely integrated with the fork. The entire unit is completely adjustable made of High Modulus carbon, including armrest is an exclusive Argon 18 molds.
The E-114 fork while a conventional fork remains essentially an articulated structural component that steers the bike, the E-114 fork also acts as a forward fairing, masking the conventional headset completely and smoothing the airflow around this part of the bike.
Completely faired front brake , the front brake, in its usual, exposed position, disrupts airflow around the front of the bike. Here, the brake caliper is mounted behind the fork.
Aerodynamics: total Integration, every one of these new components is designed to work together with the E-114 frame. Using the complete setup maximizes the aerodynamic and ergonomic advantages inherent in the E-114 concept.
Wheel combination: Reynolds Assault 46 + 46 effective wheel combination for Hilly and Rolling terrain with crosswind and very windy conditions. Sram S80 (R)/S40 (F) efective wheel combination for rolling and hilly terrain with light crosswind or mediate wind condition.
