The Gallium Pro 2018 is a design evolution of the popular, light and comfortable Gallium Pro, which was ridden in the two previous Tour de France editions. With its step up into the UCI World Tour in 2017 with Astana Pro Team, Argon 18 looks for its first Grand Tour victory with the evolved Gallium Pro.
“Our new Gallium Pro 2018 is lighter, stiffer and more precise downhill. Our R&D team succeeded to push the limits and fine-tune the balance of this bike. First two races, first two wins. We cannot ask for better results and are proud to have the Astana Pro Team take to the Tour de France on this new model,†said Gervais Rioux, Founder and CEO, Argon 18.
“I tried the new bike just before the first stage of the Criterium du Dauphine and I immediately I realized, I want to continue on this bike. I really liked the new bike and its characteristics. It is more stiff and still has a very good balance for the downhill. In the same time you feel really comfortable on it and can ride it really good. I am happy with it and I am convinced that this bike is good to reach a strong result here, at the Tour de France. Argon 18 did a very good job on improving the frame they had and right now this is a really nice frame †Fuglsang said regarding his victorious effort in Criterium du Dauphine.
The Gallium Pro 2018 is the company’s lightest frame ever at 794 g for a medium painted frame including hardware, highlighted by refined tube shape design and new a carbon fiber lay-up. Some features of this new model include redesign and optimization of all parts of the frame: from the new 4 point riveted front derailleur hanger right up to the inner cable routing. Another key aspect is greater tire clearance enabling use of up to 28 mm tires.
“For us, the Gallium lineage has always been about the pursuit of the perfect feeling race bike. We are tireless in our approach as we evaluate every small detail that adds to its character, but with each generation of the Gallium Pro we are closer. This one is no exception. This bike is defined by balance- the balance between technology and that intangible feeling of satisfaction you get when you conquer your road. It‘s the perfect balance of performance and bliss moving effortlessly, even rhythmically with the rider,†said Michael McGinn, Director of Product, Argon 18.
Included in the evolution of Gallium Pro 2018 are key details: a new and lighter fork that is both stiff and comfortable, an inlaid chainsuck protector and a refined 27.2 seatpost for more compliance, adjustability and comfort. These key innovations combined elevate the Gallium Pro from World Tour proven race machine to World Tour Race winning machine.
