The older Argos were much worse going down hill than today's Argos. The Vangaurd (about pre-98) had a very short wheel base. The Argo was stretched a bit longer at the wheel base to make the Bigfoot model, so the Vangaurd benefitted from that change. The Frontier made the best improvement and it is very well balanced. Changing from the two lever steering to the handle bar also improved safety. It was too easy to lock up the brakes with the two levers, applying a hand brake on the handlebar is much more controllable and familiar to riders.
