Ridley Bike Helium SLX Disc / Shimano Ultegra HDB

Ridley Helium SLX Disc / Shimano Ultegra HDB Bike

The Helium SLX Disc is the pinnacle of our line of Helium bikes for connoisseurs. It is extremely light, thanks to the frame that reaches 780 g for the medium size, just 50 g more than the rim brake model.

The disc brakes make it a bike that not only helps you count altimeters, but also gives you full control on the descents. The straight-stung fork increases the extraordinary maneuverability even in the toughest hairpin bends. In addition, the use of disc brakes gives rigidity to the frame, thanks to the 12mm thru-axles.

The Helium SLX Disc has also been optimized from an aerodynamic point of view, thanks to the F-Steerer technology, the same used on the Noah Fast, which allows you to integrate all the cables in order to obtain a clean riding position.

The Helium frame is simply at the highest level considering the stiffness-to-weight ratio. It has been designed to be as light as possible to tackle the longest and steepest climbs. Yet it's stiff and durable enough to competently handle the likes of Thomas De Gendt with a minute of 500W early breakaway effort. So, weight and performance are built into this frame as it has to cater to the most demanding of our professional riders.

The Helium isn't just designed for professionals, it's designed for anyone who wants to get everything out of their bike. It will help you be fast on the climbs to grab those Strava KOMs, fly on the asphalt and roll on the ground like a true pro. It's also comfortable enough to keep you motivated to travel long distances to tackle Granfondos.
