Velocite Helios

Carbon road, stage racing

One of the first Velocite frames, from 2009, and the stage racer the Helios Aero was later named after. Oversize tubes and chainstays for stiffness, ultra thin seat stays for comfort; a test rider said descending on it felt like riding a motorbike. The alloy Selene shared its geometry, so the two could be used interchangeably.
