Features- We’ve maximized stiffness with massive, asymmetrical chainstays as well as an oversized bottom bracket shell and head tube. - The frame’s upper areas feature smaller, thinner tubes that absorb and dissipate vibration from the road. - The Krypton features the revolutionary 3D Headtube system, an Argon 18 exclusive, letting the user choose from three effective head tube heights for a given frame size for positioning flexibility. - The Krypton features a BB86-type bottom bracket shell. This non-threaded type of bottom bracket uses cartridge bearings press-fitted directly into the BB shell, eliminating traditional threaded and external-type BB cups. - Formulated to maximize the benefits of HDS, 5750 HM Nano-Tech Carbon composite excels in its strength-to-weight ratio, making for a stiff but light frame. - 5750 HM and HDS combine for a perfect blend of rigidity and comfort, sparing the rider excessive fatigue on less-than-ideal roads. - The Krypton is compatible with Di2 and EPS or mechanical components; assembly with these groups requires no additional parts. - Argon 18 has designed the Krypton frame and fork as an integrated unit, fabricated in the company's proprietary molds.
