Helium tubing
At first glance, the tubes of the Helium look very classic – like ordinary round tubes. But upon closer inspection, you’ll quickly notice that we actually opted for slightly oval profiles. The cross section is slightly larger on the vertical axis than on the horizontal axis. In this way, we maximize both power transfer and comfort, while keeping the weight as low as possible. We’re talking next-level development!
While there certainly are advantages to be gained by using round tubes as they can achieve a perfect stiffness to weight ratio (when wall thickness of tubes is thin at the center, becoming slightly thicker towards the ends), our oval tubes win you that extra element of comfort without compromising power transfer or weight.
About Helium Disc
The Helium Disc performance road bike contains all the unprecedented cycling qualities and superb technology that go into the top-of-the-line Helium SLX Disc, but with a much lower price tag.
The Helium Disc road bike incorporates the unique oval tube shape which perfectly balances stiffness, weight and comfort. In addition, all cables are fully integrated in the Helium thanks to the F-Steerer technology. This gives it a clean look that’s maintenance-free.
What you’ll feel is how light, reactive, stiff and comfortable it is to ride – from first to last pedal stroke. What you won’t feel is that extra 120 grams on the frame (as it’s made of Essential Carbon) which allows it to be much more affordable than its big brother, the SLX.
