Argonaut Cycles Launches the GR3: A Rowdy Carbon Gravel Racer

Argonaut Cycles, the Oregon-based custom carbon bike manufacturer, has unveiled its first gravel bike: the GR3. Designed to excel on both technical singletrack and competitive gravel races, the GR3 is a true reflection of Argonaut’s Bend-born design philosophy.

A New Take on Gravel Biking

Three years in development, the GR3 enters a gravel market overflowing with options, yet it stands out thanks to its unique geometry and ride characteristics. Engineered for riders who want a bike capable of shredding trails while remaining race-ready, the GR3 represents Argonaut’s commitment to high-performance custom carbon bikes.

Precision In-House Manufacturing

As with the RM3 road bike, the GR3 is designed and fabricated entirely in-house at Argonaut HQ. Utilizing patent-pending high pressure silicone molding (HPSM) technology, each carbon frame is carefully molded, tested, and painted on-site, ensuring exceptional quality and ride performance.

GR3 Availability

The initial release includes seven proven sizes and four build options, with custom builds launching in late 2023. Riders can expect the same attention to detail and precision engineering that Argonaut is known for, now applied to a bike capable of dominating gravel trails and races alike.
