The E-118 Tri Disc Frameset is our pro-level UCI-legal tri bike
At 250g lighter than the previous-generation E-118Next and equipped with discs, the E-118 Tri Disc combines the razor-sharp handling and aerodynamic performance of a TT champion with tri-specific fit and functionality. Using Notio for our racecourse and velodrome testing has shown a gain of 8 to 10 watts at 50km/h over the E-118Next.
With new geometry to achieve a significantly lower front profile, our updated Oneness system offers a bar/stem system with armrest stack 2cm lower and grip position 4cm lower than the E-118Next. This allows athletes to achieve a low, aggressive position, and for smaller riders to find their perfect fit. Ideal for those looking for an aggressive position, highly responsive handling for extremely technical courses, or a versatile bike for both TT and Tri.
Features:
Argon Oneness System - With its streamlined handlebar and fully integrated stem, Argon 18’s Oneness cockpit has a significant impact on the aerodynamic efficiency and stiffness of the cockpit of our integrated triathlon bikes. Featuring multiple settings, this system enhances the bike’s versatility with significant cockpit adjustment, optimal aerodynamic positioning, and more than 30 configuration options between the rocker, spacers and the option to flip the base bar.
Triathlon and TT Geometry Tri and TT bikes prioritise aero performance, and the geometry of these bikes reflects this. To allow the rider to achieve an aggressive aero position, the seat tube angle is much steeper than on a traditional road bike. This geometry is designed to put the rider in a more forward position. Not only does this help with aerodynamics, it also can help save a triathlete's legs for the run, as it places less stress on the quadriceps.
Argon Fit System - The Argon Fit System is designed to provide riders of all sizes with consistent performance and optimal positioning. Regardless of your build, gender or your riding style, our frames are designed so that your fit will always be efficient and comfortable, ensuring the ultimate in handling. We offer sizing from XXS to XL in all of our road bikes, and XS to XL in our Tri bikes, with each size approached individually from a design and performance perspective.
Pro Level Layup - We leave no room for compromise when we build bikes for the most demanding and passionate cyclists. We combine our unique expertise in carbon layup and aerodynamics, a true sense of innovation and the most advanced technologies in order to produce true references in the cycling world: our Pro level bikes.
