The 2017 Argon 18 E-119 Tri+ is a top-of-the-line triathlon frameset. Intended only for building dedicated tri-bikes, the frame eschews UCI regulations to deliver the maximum possible performance. Aerodynamics are extraordinary; beyond the usual tube profiling and aggressive rider positioning, the minutiae are spot-on, from the integrated storage systems, bar-mount submarine, and behind-the-seat mount, to the surprisingly powerful brakeset, so seamlessly integrated they'd be invisible without Argon's spot of color.
