This way to adventure
The Dark Matter takes you ever further off the beaten path with new bikepacking features, cable integration, and updated stack and reach. What hasn’t changed is the confident, responsive ride that’s made it a gravel classic.
Rugged Race or Rough Adventure, the Dark Matter defines Performance Gravel
3D System
Get the best fit window without compromising the safety, steerer stiffness, or looks of your bike with Argon 18's 3D Technology.
Gravel Geometry
Our gravel geometry draws on our endurance geometry, itself directly inspired by our performance road race series, meaning handling, responsiveness and race-ready positioning are paramount.
Topological Compliance System
To achieve the optimal balance of comfort and performance for our endurance line, we needed geometry uniquely aligned with the demands of long-distance riding and racing. In conjunction with the best geometry, we also needed to optimise frame topology and carbon layup.
Argon Fit System
Argon Fit System is designed to provide riders of all sizes with consistent performance and optimal positioning.
