Argon 18 E114 integrated fork
Argon 18 E114 integrated fork - Argon 18 aren't the only manufacturer to take this approach, but they do do it very well. essentially the fork both passes through the headset conventionally and wraps around it the two bits clamping together to crate a very strong, stiff and something that looks very like a fairing around the front of the bike… although no doubt that's just a happy coincidence m'lud
Argon 18 E114 integrated fork 2
We really love what companies like Argon 18 are doing in terms of driving on the developement of aerodynamically efficient bikes, but we still can't help feeling that they must in some way infringe the UCI's daft rules on bike construction
Argon 18 E114 front triangle
Argon 18 E114 front triangle: cables are fully integrated through the top tube and interestingly Argon 18 are mounting the front brake inboard of the front fork - Giant have also taken this route, while Cervelo now maintain that it has no aero advantage…
Argon 18 E114 front view
Argon 18 E114 front view: At this point when on the move any nearby air needs to prepare itself to be deflected or possibly sliced through like a hot knife through butter… only much, much, easier… possibly the Deathstar passing through butter, or maybe that's Mike Burrows Lotus
Argon 18 E112 info
One step down from the E114 the E112 is still a pretty awesome piece of kit and it shouldn't give anyone from the UCI a fit of the vapours
