2018 Argon 18 E-118 Carbon Frameset

Argon 18's flagship time trial/triathlon frame has received a facelift. The entirely redesigned and streamlined front end is now lighter, more integrated and sleeker. It still offers the same great adjustment options the E-118 is already famous for.

The updated E-118 will be your best ally when it comes down to shaving precious minutes off your fastest bike split. How can you make a great frameset even better? Here’s how Argon 18 made it happen.

New ONEness 3.0 concept:

• Introducing the “Virtual Stem” in a new streamlined front end. It’s sleek. It’s more integrated. And yet, it offers as many adjustment options as before. Welcome to the ONEness 3.0 evolution.

New reversible AHB7500 carbon handlebar:

• Finely tuned fit through 10cm height adjustment for armrests and time trial extensions. Comfort adapted to each riders’ specifics needs.
