For riders who want to push the most difficult boundaries in triathlon performance, Argon-18's E-119 Tri Plus frameset is aerodynamic and lightweight, with integrated storage solutions for triathletes who need to refuel on their quest to be the best. The pinnacle of Argon-18's efforts towards producing the most aerodynamic frameset possible, every measure possibly conceivable was taken to makes this frame superbly slippery and sleek. Advancing the concept of concealing the TRP brake calipers, they are completely covered on the E-119 Tri Plus for minimal air resistance. The E-119 Tri Plus is made from even higher grade nanotech carbon fibre than the standard E-119 frameset. Utilising the best material resources possible the E-119 Tri Plus pushes the limits of being aerodynamic, lightweight and strong, resulting in a frame that offers incredible performance.
A rider is the the largest factor in how aerodynamic a bicycle is and Argon-18 recognise this, so to fully capitalise on the significant aerodynamic advantages the frame possesses, it's geometry is designed to encourage a super-aerodynamic riding position, to reap the full rewards of riding such a brilliant frameset. The handlebars produced by Argon-18 specifically for this frameset are expertly integrated into the frame, for minimal air resistance from the frameset, but also offering highly adjustable positioning and further enable an aerodynamic riding position. For triathletes who want to compete at the very top of their game this is a frameset that gives a rider access to their full potential.
A frameset developed with an optimal aerodynamic focus, the storage solutions provided by the E-119 Tri Plus are all neatly positioned to minimise air resistance. The “Tailwind” seatpost box sits centrally behind the saddle and therefore the riders thighs and lower back, providing highly aerodynamic storage. The top tube box is precision designed to tuck right up to headset, resulting in it being sweetly streamlined and looking like it's just an extension of the top tube. Last but not least The Tri Plus cockpit comes complete with an Aeroz hydration storage solution so you can remain hydrated without breaking rhythm to grab a water bottle. There's no use in creating a highly competitive frame with fine-tuned aerodynamic advantages, to then to attach a bunch of ill-fitted and highly air resistant storage solutions of it. The benefit of the E-119 Tri Plus is that all its storage is co-designed with the frame, an integrated approach that makes the E-119 Iron Man distance ready without compromising its performance.
In-keeping with Argon 18's “Optimal Balance” philosophy, the E-119 Tri Plus doesn't just excel in being aerodynamic, as excelling in all areas is what elevates a truly excellent Triathlon frame above the rest. Argon-18's Horizontal dual system means that the carbon lay-up in the lower and frontal tubing of the bike is stiffer than the lay-up of the upper and rear tubing. This means the E-119 Tri Plus delivers impressive power transfer and handling, being rigid and responsive where it needs to be and providing comfort and therefore improved rider endurance, through being more flexible in the area around the seat tube. This lay-up process is expensive, time consuming and painstakingly detailed, but the result is a frame that takes all the areas of cycling performance to the next level. For ambitious and dedicated triathlon riders, the E-119 Tri Plus provides everything necessary to achieve your best possible performance and put your best foot forward on the most demanding triathlons and Iron Mans the world has to offer.
