FIRST RIDE: RIDLEY HELIUM

Ridley Helium

Ridley?s Helium has a totally new frame for 2008, redesigned with input from Cadel Evans and the rest of the Predictor-Lotto (now Silence-Lotto) team.

The medium size we tested weighs in at 900g including an integrated seatpost, making the Helium one of the lightest out there, 150 grams lighter than last year, and apparently stiffer too.
