Gravel
From Sunday morning gravel grinders to the grittiest gravel racers.
This way to adventure
The world of gravel keeps getting bigger and badder. Argon 18’s gravel bikes take it all on while sharing a performance mindset with our pure race bikes: areo, weight, handling and power transfer are optimised to let you rule any surface at top speed.
From daylong epics to multi-day adventure races and bikepacking treks, these ripped and rugged frames are ready for anything that gets thrown at them. We know that Argon 18 gravel riders aren’t actually looking for a bike… they’re looking for adventure. Gravel cyclists want to see where the outdoors can take you, and need high-performance, highly-capable equipment to facilitate the fun.
With Argon 18 you’ll get a bike that seems to be itching for the rough stuff, and performs to the max. We’ll think about your gear, hydration, tools, comfort, and handling – you think about the horizon.
