About the Helium SLA
The Helium SLA is the aluminum version of Ridley's flagship Helium. Its geometry corresponds exactly to the carbon model. Ridley's designers have succeeded in creating the lightest and most powerful aluminum wheel that rides like a dream. It is unsurpassed in terms of stiffness-to-weight ratio.
About the Helium range
The helium frame is the ultra gourmet bike. It is simply at the highest level when it comes to the stiffness-to-weight ratio. Ridley have made it as light as possible to handle the longest and steepest climbs. Yet it's still stiff and durable enough to handle Thomas De Gendts one-minute 500W tear-out attempt expertly. Therefore, low weight and performance are integrated into this frame, as it has to meet the most demanding requirements of professional riders.
The Helium is not just for professionals, but for anyone who wants to get the most out of their bike. It will help you climb faster, grab the Strava KOMs, fly on flat and hilly terrain and sprint like a pro. It's also comfortable enough to motivate you to ride long distances to get Gran Fondos.
