ABOUT THE BIKE
Push beyond the pavement with the Argon 18 Dark Matter GRX 610/822 — a gravel bike built for riders who see the road as just the beginning. Engineered for stability, speed, and control across all surfaces, the Dark Matter combines lightweight carbon construction with progressive gravel geometry, giving you the freedom to ride further, faster, and rougher than ever before.
Equipped with Shimano’s GRX 12-speed drivetrain, this build strikes the perfect balance between reliable performance and smooth shifting, whether you're powering through muddy singletrack or climbing loose gravel passes. Massive tire clearance (up to 57mm) and vibration-damping compliance mean all-day comfort, no matter where the route leads.
Born from Argon 18’s race-proven pedigree and adapted for off-road adventure, the Dark Matter is ready for everything from long-haul bikepacking to weekend gravel grinders. If you’re ready to take the road less travelled — this is the machine to do it on.
