Ridley Helium SLX Disc Ultegra Road Bike 2022

Ridley Helium SLX Disc Ultegra Road BikeThe Helium SLX Disc is a top-quality road race bike from Ridley that features a full-carbon frame equipped with a Shimano Ultegra 2x11-Speed groupset with a Rotor Vegast double (52/36T) chainset and powerful hydraulic disc brakes. Offering agile, fast and stable performance ideal for group rides, steep hill climbs and sprints, this versatile road bike is ready for anything. This bike also rolls upon Forza Norte DB wheels wrapped in high-grip Vittoria Rubino Pro G2.0 tyres. The Helium SLX Disc is absolutely the best performance road bike for every challenge you want to take on. Perfect for those who are looking for the ideal machine to conquer climbs like a real pro. This incredibly lightweight disc brake-equipped bike weighs in at just 780 grams for the frame (size M). Fully built, it can easily drop below 7kg. And thanks to the ingenious F-Steerer Technology, that allows for integrated cable routing, you gain 15 watts without even having to pedal. The Helium is incredibly stiff, which is why Thomas De Gendt, AKA Breakaway King - master of one-minute 500W blasts, repeatedly races it to great success. The ultra-thin seat stays provide comfort without sacrificing a single watt. Engineered to be the very best all-round road bikes for the most demanding cyclists, these high-performance machines are incredibly stiff and durable yet ultra-light to dance up impossibly steep climbs. They also handle like a dream when flying at top speed on challenging descents. This is what makes them frame favourite of the Lotto Soudal pro cyclists. While their classic, round tubing may deliver the best balance of weight vs stiffness and reactivity vs comfort, it surely doesn't help them to stand out from the crowd. What instead earns them their insanely high-performance marks in every bike test are their sublime riding characteristics. In a nutshell, this bike instantly lifts the cycling level of every rider - in every way.By using disc brakes, you don't only have a bike that expertly helps you count altimeters but provides you with full control in the descent as well. The straight blade fork adds to that sublime handling taking hairpin bends. Furthermore, the use of disc brakes increased the frame's stiffness, thanks to the 12 mm thru-axles.Features: Frame: Helium SLX Disc, 60T-40T-30T HM UD Carbon, Ultimate Stiffness-to-Weight Lay-Up, F-Steerer Head Tube, TA 12x142mm Fork: Helium SLX Disc, 60T-40T-30T HM UD Carbon, TA 12x100mm Groupset: Shimano Ultegra 2x11-Speed Chainset: Rotor Vegast 52/36T Cassette: Shimano Ultegra R8000, 11-Speed, 11-32T Brakes: Hydraulic disc Wheelset: Forza Norte DB Tyres: Vittoria Rubino Pro G2.0, 700x25c, Folding, Full Black Finishing Kit: Forza Cirrus Saddle: Selle Italia XREasy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
