Argon-18's Nitrogen frameset is all about balancing streamlined aerodynamics with a responsiveness and agility. The frameset is sleek and slim, ready to slice through the air on straights, but also stiff and light enough to flick through tricky bends. The frame is built from Nanotech HM6003 carbon, coming with an ASP 5050 carbon seatpost and a full carbon fork. It's super stiff on the lower and frontal tubes, so it remains efficient and sweet handling at high speeds. It is more flexible on the upper and rear tubes to provide a more comfortable ride, which is vital on a frameset that encourages a high pace. The Nitrogen comes with TRP rim brakes which are concealed behind the forks and seatstays, delivering optimal aerodynamics and reliable braking performance. To top it off the Nitrogen's frame weighs only 960g, which is impressive given its deep aero tubing. Argon-18's philosophy of Optimal Balance means that they will always create a frameset that excels in every area.
A product of Argon-18's Fit System (AFS), the Nitrogen is designed to be ergonomic, comfortable and responsive for anyone who rides it. Presenting a delicate balance between aerodynamic pace and lightweight road bike handling, the Nitrogen can be utilised in many ways. Coming with a reversible ASP-5050 carbon seatpost, you could set the Nitrogen up for time trial or TT riding, with it's enhanced aerodyanmics giving you an edge. With its deft handling it can perform equally well on longer and less straight forward rides. Presenting 3 different options for handlebar height, the Nitrogen benefits from Argon-18's 3D headtube system, meaning the framesets fit can be customised to ensure proper position when riding. The integrated nature of Argon's 3D headtube, means that it removes the need for multiple headset spacers, instead using one aerodynamically shaped spacer for increased in stiffness. Operating with minimal resistance and maximum control in all areas, the Nitrogen is a fantastic aero road frameset, primed for incredible performance.
Dura-Ace, Shimano's top tier groupset, is designed with peak performance in mind. Carefully refined and honed for impressive results, it's constructed from the best materials, for optimal weight and accuracy. Dura-Ace really gets the most out of the Nitrogen, maximising the frames potential to deliver a truly world class ride. To deliver a bike tailored to suit our respective customers, we will discuss chainset and cassette ratios upon purchase. Fulcrum Racing Quattro Carbon wheels are designed for high level performance, shedding weight and enhancing aerodynamics, without compromising Fulcrum's key aim of durability. With their aerodynamic profiling they're an excellent match for the Nitrogen frameset, building on its exiting aerodynamic advantages. 3T's Arx Pro and Ergonova handlebars and Prologo's Kappa Evo saddle are all consistent with the excellent quality of this package. At Flat Harrys we can offer different sizes of these 3T components with this bike, to make sure our customers get the best fit possible on their new bike. Combining a top tier frame and groupset, with excellent wheels, the Nitrogen Dura-Ace is the complete package, capable of brilliant performance.
