The Helion 24 showcases a high-performance design with a triple-butted aluminium frame, CNC-machined chainstay yoke, threaded thru axles for enhanced stiffness, and adjustable sliding dropouts. Its elongated, low, and slack geometry promotes confidence, balance, and agile handling on challenging trails. Equipped with Shimano Deore 1x11 for precise, reliable shifting and a clutch derailleur to minimize chain slap, it features tubeless-compatible wheels and 2.25" tyres for superior traction and durability. Dropper post compatible, it’s ready for advanced riders seeking greater control and progression.
A performance optimised aluminium frame
Designed for high performance, the Helion 24 features a triple-butted aluminium frame with a CNC-machined chainstay yoke engineered to withstand significant impacts and accommodate up to a 2.6” tyre. The frame tubing is strategically crafted to optimize strength at critical stress points while minimizing weight elsewhere, ensuring an efficient build. Threaded thru axles enhance frame rigidity, and sliding dropouts provide adjustable handling and sizing options to support rider progression.
Rapid fire shifters
Reliable and adaptable, Shimano’s Deore 5100 1x11 drivetrain offers developing riders an ideal gear range without complexity. This streamlined 1x setup is optimized for technical trail and jump riding, keeping weight minimal. With Shimano’s HyperGlide+ technology, shifting is fast, smooth, and precise, even under heavy load, while the Shadow+ rear derailleur employs a clutch mechanism to eliminate chain slap and maintain chain retention on rough impacts.
A long, low and slack geometry.
The Helion 24 is engineered for performance, featuring geometry tailored to enhance speed, technical skill, and rider confidence on challenging terrain. Its low center of gravity improves balance through corners, while the slack head tube angle smooths out descents. Short seat stays contribute to a lively, responsive ride, making maneuvers like manuals more accessible and enjoyable.
A no fuss, full gas chainset
The Helion 24’s crankset and single-ring configuration deliver a unique blend of performance, safety, and pedaling efficiency uncommon in bikes of this size. Its narrow-wide chainring prevents chain drop and noise, while the forged aluminium 150mm cranks—designed with anatomical precision—enhance power transfer and overall efficiency.
MTB wheels that go hard
Equipped with fully sealed bearing hubs, tubeless-ready double-wall rims, and an optimized spoke count, these wheels are built to perform. Sealed bearings protect against mud, water, and corrosion, while the sturdy double-wall rims offer enhanced durability on rocky and root-filled trails. The balanced spoke configuration reduces the risk of wheel wobble, and quick-release axles make tire changes fast and hassle-free when needed.
Tyres that keep you on track.
Tackling challenging terrain demands robust tyres, and the Helion doesn’t compromise. Vee’s tubeless-compatible 2.25" Rubber Crown Gem tyres offer exceptional grip, control, and puncture resistance across mud, berms, ruts, and roots, all while maintaining a lightweight profile for agile performance.
Lightweight, adjustable brakes
Lightweight and highly adjustable, Shimano’s Deore M6000 brakes deliver smooth, consistent modulation and dependable stopping power. The predictable feedback helps avoid abrupt stops, while the 160mm six-bolt rotors provide the strong, reliable braking performance confident riders demand for pushing limits safely.
Drop it like it’s hot
The Hellion 24 is designed with pre-installed ports and guides for easy dropper post installation. Its internal cable routing minimizes exposed cables and potential failure points, allowing riders to concentrate on improved descents, enhanced handling, and greater confidence.
