Argon 18 Krypton SRAM Road Bike

$3,499.00. Sold out, but available by special order.

The Krypton frame is a monocoque carbon fibre, which is built to the high standards all Argon 18's are renowned for. Equipped here with a Sram Rival groupset, the result is a seriously competitive bike that will be as equally at home in the heat of competition or on some of the more serious recreational rides such as the Audax Alpine Classic, Around the Bay in a Day, or even one of the Alltrails events, traversing Australia.
Canadian Olympic cyclist Gervais Rioux bought a Montreal bike shop toward the end of his racing career in the late 1980's, choosing to put his vision of cycling to work in serving his customers. Thanks to this vision, the shop became the eastern Canadian authority in all matters to do with road cycling and bike fit. Alongside regular retail sales and service, Rioux developed his own bike brand, the Argon 18, which began attracting increasing attention everywhere in Canada, for its impeccable handling, quality fabrication and refined, detailed finish. In the following years Canadian teams and riders competing around the world unintentionally began to let the greater cycling community know of this Canadian secret. In recent years, the secret is no more, with Argon 18 bikes being available worldwide.
The Krypton is a great looking bike with a full carbon frameset. It absorbs vibration making it highly comfortable and luxurious. But whilst it is not the lightest bike on the market, the ride comfort combined with great aerodynamics, stability and accurate steering, the Krypton is a bike that a lot of triathletes prefer.
Just as the frame brand isn't the most well known, neither is the SRAM groupset, but much publicity and use by professional teams in recent times has seen this anonymity begin to fade. A great looking bike that rides as well as many others in a higher price range, the Krypton won't disappoint.

$3,899.00. Sold out but available by special order.

Not all carbon road bikes are created equal. The Krypton is an extremely stylish monocoque frame with moulded gussetting and tubing shapes designed to enhance all the positive ride sensations carbon allows, such as comfort, stability and performance.
The Krypton frame is constructed as a monocoque from high quality carbon fibre, and is built to the high standards all Argon 18's are renowned for. Equipped here with Shimano Ultegra, the result is a seriously competitive bike that will be as equally at home in the heat of competition or on some of the more serious recreational rides such as the Audax Alpine Classic, Around the Bay in a Day, or even one of the Alltrails events, traversing Australia.
Built by former Canadian Olympic cyclist Gervais Rioux who developed his own house brand bike, the Argon 18, in the years following his retirement from competition in the 1980's. Initially distributed via his Montreal bike shop, his Argon 18 bikes enhanced Rioux's reputation for quality service and products. This deserved notoriety was further enhanced as Canadian riders and teams travelled to events around the world. Today, you don't have to be a lucky Canadian to own one of these striking looking bikes.
