Summary
The Argon 18 Krypton is celebrated for its exceptional blend of comfort and performance, making it a standout in the endurance category. Its design cleverly balances stiffness for climbing with suppleness over rough terrain, alongside features like generous tire clearances and aerodynamic details. Reviews highlight its predictable handling, outstanding vibration damping, and the ability to maintain speed efficiently, though some note the weight and basic components as minor drawbacks.
Exceptional blend of comfort and performance
Predictable handling and outstanding vibration damping
Generous tire clearances and aerodynamic details
Supple over rough terrain yet stiff for climbing
Clever design features like adjustable head tube length
Middleweight wheels and noisy rotors
Basic components add weight
Press-fit bottom bracket may not appeal to all
It’s a luxurious endurance bike that I’d hold in the same high regard as Trek’s Domane, Cannondale’s Synapse and Specialized’s Roubaix for its sublime smoothness.
