In this in-depth video, Argon 18 Product Director Alexandre Côté and VP of R&D Vincent Lemay walk you through the key features and decisions behind the 2025 Dark Matter — our most advanced gravel platform to date.

You’ll learn why we reworked the geometry to better meet the demands of gravel racing and adventure riding, how we optimized the frame specifically for 1x drivetrain setups, and what it means to have up to 57 mm of tire clearance — from improved comfort and traction to greater versatility on rough terrain. You’ll also get insight into the development process and the performance-driven choices that shaped the final design.

Whether you're a competitive racer, a weekend explorer, or anything in between, this video gives you a closer look at what makes the new Dark Matter stand out — and why it could be your next bike.
