This is the second such prize for the E-114; last year, the Institut Design Montréal chose the bike as first prize winner for best industrial design.Argon 18 president and chief designer Gervais Rioux was present at Eurobike and accepted the award on behalf of the Argon 18 company. He was clearly very pleased to see his company’s work rewarded by this latest prize. In his view, this award “confirms, at the international level, Argon 18’s capacity for innovation’’. He added that “ the E-114 is much more than just another bike; it reflects our determination in pursuing the company’s international development in the highly competitive market for ultra high-end bikes’’. A fully unified design, the E-114 frameset includes the frame, fork, headset, bullhorn bars and aerobar extensions as well as the brakes and brake levers. These components were designed to work together; using the complete setup maximizes the aerodynamic and ergonomic advantages inherent in the design.ONEness is a new time-trial cockpit/front end developed by Argon 18. ONEness means an unprecedented merger between rider and machine resulting from a complete rethinking of the bike’s front end and control interfaces. Attention to detail • Horizontal rear dropoutsThe E-114 features horizontal rear dropouts. Regardless of tire size, the wheel can be optimally positioned. • Internal cable routingAll cables are internally routed for reduced clutter and improved aerodynamics. ONEness Concept ONEness is a new time-trial cockpit/front end developed by Argon 18. ONEness means an unprecedented merger between rider and machine resulting from a complete rethinking of the bike’s front end and control interfaces.• The E-114 fork While a conventional fork remains essentially an articulated structural component that steers the bike, the E-114 fork also acts as a forward fairing, masking the conventional headset completely and smoothing the airflow around this part of the bike.• The upper fairing and spacers are made of CNC-machined aluminum alloy.• Completely faired front brakeThe front brake, in its usual exposed position, disrupts airflow around the front of the bike. Here, the brake is mounted behind the fork and fork shape is designed to completely hide the brake from the wind and let the air flow past it, eliminating turbulence and drag.• A new interface between athlete and machine The new AHB5000 aerobar/bullhorn bar combination is completely integrated with the fork. The entire unit is made of HM carbon (including armrests) in exclusive Argon 18 molds. Fully adjustable, it’s installed directly on the fork fairing, eliminating the need for a stem.This setup adapts to the rider, fostering an increased unity between rider and machine, ergonomics and aerodynamics. Aero tube shape tailored to each frameset section • From the fork to seatstay, the various sections have been given different aero profiles. The design takes into account the effect of the rider on airflow, given that most of the drag is generated by the cyclist and that optimized aerodynamics can only be achieved by considering the combination of both rider and bike. 6006 HM Nano-Tech carbon As with 6010 HM, used in the Gallium, 6006 HM includes only the best unidirectional high-modulus fibers. Developed as part of project Element 114, this formulation is custom-tailored for the E-114. Optimised rigidity in the bottom bracket and rear triangle. 6006 HM enhances frameset stability; this means pinpoint steering accuracy through the tightest line, even in an aero tuck position and at very high output levels.The ONEness concept and the increased synergy and unity between athlete and machine are largely feasible thanks to 6006 HM’s specific properties. ASP 5000 seatpost • An Argon 18 innovation. Built in our own mold, the ASP5000 seatpost is an elegant piece of engineering that combines positional flexibility and aero efficiency.• 78 or 76-degree seat angle.• Saddle tilt and setback are adjusted separately, facilitating even the most minute position changes. This includes Frame, Fork, Headset, seatpost, handelbar, tt bars, brakes & brake levers.   2009 Components TT Kit 1-Shimano   Front Derailleur Shimano Dura AceFD-7900 Rear Derailleur  Shimano Dura AceRD-7900 Shifters ShimanoDura Acebar end SL-BS79 Brakes Dura Ace BR-7900Dura Ace BL-TT79 Crank Shimano Dura Ace39/53 FC-7900 Bottom Bracket Shimano Dura Ace Chain Shimano Dura AceCN-7900 Cassette Shimano Dura Ace12/23-25 CS-7900 Headset FSA Orbit IS2 Stem FSA OS 190 CarbonONEness on E-114 Handlebar Profile T2 Wing+T2 AerobarsAHB-5000 on E-114 Saddle Argon 18ARS-2000 Seatpost Argon 18 ✚ASP-2000 Carbon27.2mm Tires VittoriaCorsa EVO-CX * Wheel Mavic Aksium Wheel Zipp 1080/808 Pedals N/A Place a Bid!
