Ridley

<p>A benchmark in cost-effective performance, the legendary Helium gets the latest tech in aluminum frame construction. Retaining the stiffness-to-weight ratio that distinguished the original, the SLA uses exceptionally thin-walled tubing sections with double-pass welding on the head and seat tubes for a frame that's both tough and light. Worried about the bone-shattering stiffness that used to characterize aluminum? Don't be. Thin, strong seat stays, a svelte seatpost and the beautiful carbon fibre fork keep it comfortable and responsive, like carbon bikes twice its price. A sweet sprinkling of Shimano and 4ZA components makes this ride a special one. Shimano 105 shift swag creates a classy build, while rock-solid Mavic wheels provide exceptional everyday performance.</p><ul><li>Frame uses 6000-series aluminum with double-pass welding to produce a light, stiff and durable frame</li><li>1200g frame weight is on par with carbon fibre bikes</li><li>Tapered, reinforced head tube shaves grams, aids aggressive handling and provides excellent impact protection</li><li>Ultra-thin chainstays provide shock absorption for a comfortable, buzz-free ride</li><li>Full carbon fibre fork with carbon steerer keeps the weight low</li><li>Internal routing aids aerodynamics while keeping cables silky smooth</li><li>Mavic Aksium Elite wheelset with 25mm Mavic Yksion Guard tires</li><li>Shimano 105 11-speed groupset</li><li>Compact Shimano RS510 crankset is at home climbing or sprinting</li><li>4ZA brakes provide solid performance</li><li>4ZA Stratos handlebars, seatpost, stem, and other components are durable performers</li><li>Bikes are covered by MEC's Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement.
