AFS Geometry, Simply Human Specific

Men and women of the same height face the same challenges and must consider the same variables when it comes to bike fitting.

In the cycling world, some notions die hard. One such persistent idea is that of female-specific frame geometries. In this view, women and men have different physical proportions, and so women require a shorter frame. Our twenty-year-plus experience has convinced us, beyond a doubt that this notion rests on market segmentation data much more than on any factual, rigorous analysis of human morphology.

  • Optimal Balance

    Stiffness, light weight and comfort-you can have it all! Optimal Balance is the genetic blueprint of Argon 18’s DNA.

  • AFS

    AFS can be summarized in a few words: it’s the standard frameset geometry for all of our bikes.

  • Positioning

    Understanding cycle geometry is as simple as counting to four…because the frame can be broken down into four distinct areas, each with its specific role.
