Our take on the Argon 18 Electron Bike

The Argon 18 Electron is an entry-level track bike with a 7075 aluminum frame and a carbon fork, built for velodrome training and racing. Its geometry is derived from the Electron Pro, and it runs a single-speed fixed drivetrain with bolt-on Miche Pistard wheels and 25 mm Vittoria Zaffiro V tires. It is a purpose-built track machine, not a street or road bike. The latest best price is $639.94 at Jenson USA as of October 30, 2026, which is also the only price seen in its recent range.

Pros
  • 7075 aluminum frame is stiff and efficient for power transfer
  • Carbon fork saves weight and keeps track steering precise

  • Adjustable rear dropouts simplify chain tension changes
  • Bolt-on Miche Pistard wheels and 25 mm tires are track-ready out of the box

  • 25 mm tires are narrow and firm for anything but smooth velodrome boards
  • No gearing range for hilly or variable terrain
  • Entry-level wheelset limits upgrade headroom for serious racers

Questions and answers

Is the Argon 18 Electron worth it for a first track bike?
Yes, if you want a complete, velodrome-ready bike at a low price. The stiff aluminum frame, carbon fork and threaded bottom bracket keep it simple to fit and maintain.
Can I ride the Electron on the road?
No. It is a fixed-gear track bike with no brakes and track geometry, so it is meant for velodrome use only.
What is the difference between the Electron and the Electron Pro?
The Electron uses the Pro's track geometry in a 7075 aluminum frame with a carbon fork. The Pro is the higher-tier race platform, so the Electron is the cheaper way into the same fit and handling.
What gearing and wheels does it come with?
It ships single-speed fixed with a KMC Z510HX chain and Miche Pistard bolt-on wheels on 700x25 Vittoria Zaffiro V tires. Check the cog size with the seller before buying for a specific event.
What is in the box?
You get the complete bike, built, tested and tuned before shipment. Pedals and brakes are not part of a typical track build, so confirm with the seller.
When is the Electron cheapest?
The lowest price seen recently was $639.94 at Jenson USA on October 30, 2026. Track bikes often drop in fall and winter, so watch for end-of-season markdowns.
