Is the Argon 18 E-112 a good tri bike?
We’ve been telling people that Canadian innovators Argon 18 have been making great tri bikes for ages. The 2014 E-112 is another very good reason to listen to us. The Argon 18 E-112 shares its frame shape with a flagship forebear and in this case it’s the 2010-2011 E-114.
What is the difference between the Argon 18 E-112 and E-114?
If the frame looks familiar, it’s because the E-112 uses the same mould as Argon 18’s 2010/11 flagship bike, the E-114. The major difference is that, rather than the ONEness bayonet fork of the 114, the 112 uses a conventional single steerer fork with front mounted brake.

As soon as the road opened up and we applied some power, the E-112 produced a really clean, crisp feel. That created a far more positive, encouraging response and significantly faster results than with woolier/softer feeling bikes.
What makes argon 18 bikes so special?
Despite the brutally stiff looks, Argon 18 use their HDS to deliberately split the carbon layup in half along a nominal line from the rear dropout to the top of the head tube. Below the line it’s all about torque transfer and impressive power delivery, and above it is deliberately laid up to be more forgiving and compliant.
