Helios SL

Price:£ 799.99


The Helios SL incorporates all that we know about making a super light and fast folding bike for all around use. Weighing in at a mere 7.6 kilos (16.72 lbs.), the Helios SL is the lightest production folding bike on the planet. For 2005, we’ve thoroughly re-designed the frame and steering assembly and added our patented Fusion technology which boosts torsional rigidity by over 35%. That means your out of saddle efforts will be even better rewarded than before. Equipped with rocket fast Rolf Prima™ Accel wheels, custom Schwalbe Stelvio Light tires, and SRAM X7 drivetrain, the Helios SL sets a new performance benchmark for folding bicycles.

Ultra light - Only 7.6 kilos (16.7 lbs.) w/o pedals

Stiff, hyper efficient frame made from custom-drawn Sonus™ tubing
