Argon 18 2013 Krypton Frameset Medium
 
One major goal we've set for ourselves at Argon 18 is to make sure the R&D efforts involved in applying our OPTIMAL BALANCE principles to our flagship models should extend to every bike we make.  This trickle-down effect means our entry and mid-level bikes offer exceptional performance and remarkable comfort as well; these are bikes on which you'll feel confident and competitive immediately.  A perfect example of this is the 2013 Krypton, a punchy performer that definitely benefits from the best of OPTIMAL BALANCE.
The lessons learned in the Gallium and Gallium Pro R&D process have led us to the current version of the Krypton, a high-quality, high-performance 100% carbon frameset.  If you feel it's not necessary or justifiable to meet the steep price of a fully professional race bike, consider the Krypton: it has everything needed to help you maximize your performance without breaking the bank.
