Looking for opinions on these two consider the the fit feel nearly the same components are nearly the same low spec the Argon is 10 speed the Talon is 11 speed. Argon is a newly engineered Alum frame and the Talon is carbon of an older design?

from the website it looks like they are both 11 speed?

Have you taken them out for a test ride? The fit and feel will probably determine which way to go. If money was not an issue and they felt the same on the test ride, I would personally go with the Argon. Higher quality bike from what I have read.

decided to go with the Kestrel it is a 2017 with 11 speed 105 front and rear. Argon was a 2015 with 10 speed tiegra. Both felt good on the test ride but I feel the Carbon Talon frame will be better on the chip seal we have around here.
