Description

The rebirth of XC. Before World Cups and when cross-country wasn’t about the recovery drinks and the nerdy gear, it was about the pure, simple joy of riding in the mountains. The 2015 Helion features progressive geometry to give you nimble, smile-jerking control, without losing efficient pedaling expected of a short travel bike.
