E-80
Redesigned for yet more speed
Few manufacturers invest substantially in research and development of their entry-level frames, but that’s just what we’ve done in our complete redesign of the E-80.
The result is a remarkable frameset that offers the same geometry found in the E-114 and E-112, but at a much lower price.
Similarly, the E-80 is an integrated design and comes with Tektro RX4.1 brake levers and Tektro R-725 calipers, as well as the ASP-4000 reversible carbon seatpost.

• AFS Tri/T.T. Geometry... Argon 18 Fit System, it's human specific
As with the E-114 and E-112 the E-80’s geometry takes into consideration the specific physical characteristics imposed by the tri/time trial position.
Front center and overall wheelbase dimensions remain identical to the E-114’s and E-112's: all three have the same accurate steering and rock-solid stability even at very high-intensity efforts. Radical or more relaxed positions are easily achieved.
• Total frame length doesn’t determine everything: optimal handling and fit are obtained with balanced proportions.
• On a time trial machine, 400mm chainstays ensure a perfect chain line and efficient shifting.
