Ridley Helium 2012 Frameset

Ridley‘s lightest racer for 2012 offers the best combination for stiffness, low weight and all day comfort. Brutal Belgian pave and Tour de France hors category climbs are no match for the Helium.

- Oversized round tube shape and integrated seat post offer the best stiffness to weight ratio.
- Flex seat stays increase rider comfort.
- Carbon rear drop outs and full carbon head tube reduce weight.
- Hollow bottom bracket technology increases lateral stiffness without adding weight.
- Full carbon tapered 1-1/8 1-1/2 headtube with angular contact bearings.

Frame: 50, 40 and 30-ton high modulus carbon fiber
(see Research and Development: Ridley Carbon Fiber)
Maximum cut-off length ISP, measured from top seatpost, is 60mm.
Fork: 4ZA Helium full carbon monocoque
