For This Bike
May 2018 · Warren Rossiter
Sublime ride quality hampered by mediocre spec. Buy if you want a classic race frame and are prepared to upgrade significantly down the line
The Helium X has all the handling chops and smoothness I’d ever want
It’s just too pricey for the equipment levels

A fantastic bike, that gets near to perfect with a wheelset to match the rest of the build
Greater than the sum of its parts making it one of the best bikes I've ridden
Buyers should budget for an immediate wheel upgrade to get the best from what is already a very good bike

Light, fast and great handling race bike but let down by the wheels
