| Features | - The Krypton X Road frame design was guided by our HDS principle, with structural properties that vary according to the stresses the frame undergoes. - We’ve maximized stiffness with massive, asymmetrical chainstays as well as an oversized bottom bracket shell and head tube. - The frame’s upper areas feature smaller, thinner tubes that absorb and dissipate vibration from the road. - The Krypton X Road features a BB86-type bottom bracket shell. This non-threaded type of bottom bracket uses cartridge bearings press-fitted directly into the BB shell, eliminating traditional threaded and external-type BB cups. - Formulated to maximize the benefits of HDS, 5007 HM Nano-Tech Carbon composite excels in its strength-to-weight ratio, making for a stiff but light frame. - 5007 HM and HDS combine for a perfect blend of rigidity and comfort, sparing the rider excessive fatigue on less-than-ideal roads. - The Krypton X Road is compatible with Di2 and EPS drivetrains; assembly with these group sets requires no additional parts. - Argon 18 has designed the Krypton X Road frame and fork as an integrated unit, fabricated in the company's proprietary molds. - The mold shapes give the monocoque frame superior rigidity overall, with massive, asymmetrical chainstays, a very large bottom bracket and beefy head tube. - With its new disc brakes feature, the Krypton X Road will take you wherever you want, whenever you want, regardless of the terrain or the weather. - Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 components |
