Ridley Helium SLX Disc review

Jun 2020 · James Spender

A bike for every situation, as much a joy to corner on as to sprint, to descend on as to climb

Highs
  • Light

  • Responsive

  • Stiff

Lows
  • Unexceptional wheels

Ridley Helium X 105 review

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

Highs
  • The Helium X has all the handling chops and smoothness I’d ever want

Lows
  • It’s just too pricey for the equipment levels
