ARGON 18 DARK MATTER 105 BIKE 2019NOT JUST ANOTHER GRAVEL BIKEGravel riding has become immensely popular in the last few years. Gravel bikes have a more relaxed frame geometry than a traditional cyclocross bike which means riding longer distances won't be as taxing. When Argon 18 created the Dark Matter, they didn't just want to create a cookie cutter gravel bike. They wanted to create something that felt as fast and responsive on the trail as it would on the road. Their mission was accomplished. The 2018 Argon 18 Dark Matter is a gravel bike that feels at home in almost all terrains. It features a longer wheelbase than their endurance bikes, but still shorter than most other gravel bikes that have an equivalent tire clearance. It has a monocoque carbon fiber frame and fork that has a 54mm rake on the smaller frames and a 49mm rake on medium, large, and extra-large frames. The frame uses flat mount disc brakes with either 140mm or 160mm rotors and the frame has tire clearance for up to 45mm wide tires, or 40mm with fenders mounted. It has a TDS-C seatpost that offers compliance and comfort. Lastly, the frame has a downtube protector and internal cable routing.This model of the Dark Matter comes with a Shimano 105 drivetrain that includes a 105 crankset, shifter, and front and rear derailleur. The cassette has an 11-34 tooth gear range and the crankset has a 50 and 34-tooth chainring. This combination is perfect for gravel grinding and racing while still providing ample climbing gears. The Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes provide excellent stopping power needed for long descents so riders will have the confidence to bomb down the mountain once they ride to the top. The HED Ardennes GP Plus Disc wheels are paired with Challenge Gravel Grinder 700x38 tires which provide excellent traction in most situations. If you're looking for a gravel bike that you can race on or cruise down the local bike trails, then you'll love the Argon 18 Dark Matter 105 Bike.FeaturesShimano 105 2x drivetrain provides smooth and reliable shifting in all terrainsShimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes bring the confidence-inspiring stopping powerHED Ardennes GP Plus Disc wheels paired with Challenge Gravel Grinder 700x38 tiresModular cable routing system is clean, smart, and efficientTire clearance for up to 45c tires or 40c with fendersSPECIFICATIONSFrameARGON 18 Dark Matter, Monocoque Carbon FiberForkDark Matter, Monocoque Carbon FiberHeadsetFSA 30 + 3D PLUSShiftersShimano 105Front Derailleur-DerailleursShimano 105 R7000CranksetShimano 105 50/34Bottom BracketShimano BB72-41BChainFSA 11-speedCassetteShimano 105, 11/34BrakesShimano 105WheelsetHED Ardennes GP Plus DiscTiresChallenge Gravel Grinder, 700x38HandlebarFSA NS Adventure Compact AlloyStemFSA OS-168 AlloyTapeBlackSeatpostArgon 18 TDS-C Carbon, 27.2mmSeatclampArgon 18SaddlePrologo Scratch RSIntended UseGravel, Road, AdventureWeightN/ANote: Components are subject to change without notice.Geometry and Size GuideMETRICINCHSizeXX SmallExtra SmallSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeA: Seat Tube Length420450485520555590B: Effective Top Tube492513534556579603C: Stack530550570590610635D: Reach356367377387397407E: BB Height------F: BB Drop707070707070G: Head Tube Length120135154171192216H: Head Tube Angle69.5 deg71.0 deg71.4 deg72.0 deg72.0 deg72.5 degI: Seat Tube Angle75.5 deg74.9 deg74.3 deg73.7 deg73.1 deg72.5 degJ: Standover Height701729760791821852K: Chainstay Length428428428428428428L: Wheelbase100810111024103010461059SizeXX SmallExtra SmallSmallMediumLargeExtra LargeA: Seat Tube Length16.517.719.120.521.923.2B: Effective Top Tube19.420.221.021.922.823.7C: Stack20.921.722.423.224.025.0D: Reach14.014.414.815.215.616.0E: BB Height------F: BB Drop2.82.82.82.82.82.8G: Head Tube Length4.75.36.16.77.68.5H: Head Tube Angle69.5 deg71.0 deg71.4 deg72.0 deg72.0 deg72.5 degI: Seat Tube Angle75.5 deg74.9 deg74.3 deg73.7 deg73.1 deg72.5 degJ: Standover Height27.628.729.931.132.333.5K: Chainstay Length16.916.916.916.916.916.9L: Wheelbase39.739.840.340.641.241.7 | Argon 18 Dark Matter 105 Bike 2019 Sand Gloss Kit3 105 XX-Small
