Simultaneously, Shimano has also presented an upgraded 600-series 12-speed variant, delivering extended gear capabilities at a more affordable price.

The Argon Dark Matter could be dubbed as a bit of a do-it-all gravel bike with a generous number of cargo mounts, yet it's also a bit of a race machine, too. Throughout my time with this bike, I felt it had a bit of an identity crisis and failed to really impress me in most riding scenarios, despite tackling everything that came its way adequately. The Dark Matter does, however, offer adjustable geometry which is valuable on smaller frame sizes.
