| Features | - The E-116's 6105 HM Nano-Tech carbon composite has been specially formulated to fulfill the performance criteria set out in the design brief, ensuring an optimal blend of stiffness, comfort and light weight. - Longer chainstays: 39.5 cm stays are longer than the stays on competing models, increasing stability at speed and creating a longer chain line, for crisper shifting - Lower (75 mm) bottom bracket: most bikes have a bottom bracket positioned 70 mm or even 60 mm below the wheel axles. Ours is set at 75 mm for a lower centre of gravity, improving lateral rigidity and steering accuracy, particularly in a tucked position. - The E-116 comes equipped with the 3D Headtube system, an Argon 18 exclusive. - The 3D system lets the user choose from three effective head tube heights for a given frame size for positioning flexibility. - Since the 3D Headtube system offers three effective head tube lengths, a rider can set the right position initially, but can later revise this position as fitness, taste or riding style evolve over time. - Like every Argon 18 model, the E-116 frame design was guided by the HDS principle, with structural properties varying according to the stresses the frame undergoes. - We’ve maximized stiffness in the frame with massive, asymmetrical chainstays as well as an oversized bottom bracket shell and head tube. - Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 components |
