Ignore the race label and the Argon 18 Dark Matter is a well appointed adventure bike perfect for party pace.

Argon 18’s fast, comfortable, sure-footed, and well-equipped Dark Matter is a great all-round gravel workhorse
Deceptively fast
Lots of mounting options
A comfortable, well-balanced position
Impeccable high-speed manners
Happy on a wide range of terrain
I would prefer a 1x option
140mm rear rotor is not ideal when fully loaded

Looks like a road bike, rides like a road bike, but is very capable on the rougher stuff too
Great ride quality
Impressive performance on road and hardpacked surfaces
Internal storage is roomy
Stiff and light
Road-focused gearing is quite tall for off-road sections
Road groupsets limit tyre clearance

The ultimate all-rounder or more of a speed king? The Argon 18 Dark Matter promises to do it all, but can it beat the competition in our big adventure gravel group test?
Sleek racing look
A lot of fun on fast, flat roadstons of mounting points for everything your heart desires
A lack of compliance for hard off-road use

Rapid performance shines through, but not without flaws
High stiffness
Fast all round performance
Easy handling
Lacklustre finishing kit
