![]() It allows you to adjust the front end stack according to your needs – 0mm if you rather like a steeper drop to the bars, 15mm if you like to stay fairly low but want to give your back a break, and a whopping 30mm if you really do like the added comfort a higher stack can offer you, especially if your goal is to heap on the miles you accumulate over a summer. They have incorporated their 3D Plus System into the Krypton GF. Then, mixing a sporty endurance geometry with the ability to adjust the stack height enhances the Krypton GF’s credentials as a versatile endurance oriented bike with a racing pedigree. With the ability to fit both 140 and 160mm rotors, there can be little doubt that they are a huge help especially when weather and road conditions deteriorate. And it has been designed around flat mount disc brakes so that you will always have the stopping power you want, even in rainy conditions. This is a bike designed to balance the compliance required by uncertain road surface quality as well as the need for the lightweight that will help it climb effortlessly and stability to rail those unknown descents. That may be one reason why the Krypton GF has been designed, since it will give you a great mix of the comfort of an endurance bike as well as the performance emphasis that you would get with a pure racing bike. It’s actually not too dissimilar here in the states, where lots of Gran Fondos are started by ex-pros as a way of fostering a community and making use of their top-end power while they still have it. In Italy, Gran Fondos have long been where retired pro Italian riders go to flex their muscles one more time and where amateurs get the chance to test themselves equally against their idols and the elements. And that is the core message of the Argon 18 Krypton GF. They are amazing fun, combining the atmo of a timed race with the pleasure of cycling big distances for pure pleasure. Now they are all over the place, and for good reason. Except for those lucky enough to visit the Italian cycling scene, most of us probably had never heard of a Gran Fondo until nine or ten years ago.
