The E-119 Tri+ gains discs – but that’s just the beginning.
In an industry first, Argon 18 have integrated the front calipers into the fork, to help compensate for the aero penalty of the rotors. Integration throughout the design also means a hidden tool kit in the BB area, improved nutrition storage options and a fully re-designed cockpit.
The first tri bike on the market with fully concealed disc calipers, integrated into the frame. As always, Argon 18 look for integration without headaches: precision engineered for adjustability, ease of maintenance, and heat dissipation – all at zero drag increase over the hidden caliper brakes of the E-119 Tri+.
Fully loaded, the E-119 Tri + Disc features a survival kit positioned low on the frame to merge accessibility, usability, and weight positioning so that you won’t feel it when out of the saddle. Along with an updated top tube box with increased capacity for nutrition, you’re packed and ready.
Aero performance from the rigorous development of the new Electron Pro track bike and then stripped away the UCI limits. Lowering the SS/ST connection, revising the fork and handlebar profiles, removing quick releases, and redesigning the TT/ST junction are among the things that allowed us to optimise aero results. Early wind tunnel tests with the 3D-printed prototype fork showed no aero penalty as compared to the rim-brake E-119.
