Make Your Gravel Podium Dreams a Reality

Why We Love It
For the discerning racer looking to take their speed off-road. The Argon 18 Dark Matter is designed with a heavy dose of road performance carefully merged with gravel-tuned geometry and wider tire clearance. To accomplish the needed vertical compliance that gravel demands, Argon 18 developed their "Topological Compliance System". Much of this system is achieved by intentionally designed flex in the seatstays, which allows the seat tube to flex below the rider providing the desired vertical compliance without sacrificing lateral stiffness. For the most demanding gravel, The Dark Matter can clear up to a 45mm tire (whether 700c or 650b). Make your gravel podium dreams a reality with the Dark Matter.
