[ product details ]

The Helius RC is a thoroughbred competitor. RC stands for Race, depending on the setup can be adapted for Cross-Country or marathon. The fight with the mountain is a mind game. The knowledge that in the miles still ahead you wont be wasting even the smallest fraction of energy due to the suspension, or dragging round unnecessary weight, both motivates and inspires. The certainty that on a fast descent you have a reliable stable frame, allows you to relax your fingers on the brake levers. Lightweight without recklessness. The RC Helius is a rocket, but no ejector seat. A perfect combination of efficiency and security.
