ARGON 18 - GREY MATTER - SRAM APEX XPLR

Really – go get lost. You’ve got extra snacks, gear, and you’ve got the bike that will go anywhere with you. Kicking up rocks on an old logging road? No problem. Muddy singletrack? Comes off easy. Grit pinging your frame for the next hundred miles? Didn’t notice.

Get even further off the beaten path with a bikepacking-ready ride with fender and rack mounts, and up to six bottle and utility mounts, depending on size. Also with internal cable routing at the headset and external at chainstays, and our 3D headset with cable integration for easy maintenance and dialed-in fit options.
