DARK MATTER
TO THE END OF THE PAVED ROAD AND BEYOND

For when the route is unpredictable – but the ride must be solid. Go way off the beaten path with this gravel racer featuring performance-driven geometry derived from Argon 18’s legendary World Tour bikes. Go wherever the day takes you with assured handling and optimal power transfer, to control the terrain regardless of the surprises it may throw at you. We wanted a bike that offered supreme confidence alongside racing behaviour, a bike that would feel just as playful and responsive on the dirt as it would on the road. Some will blaze the trail, but on the Dark Matter, you will scorch it.
