Product Description

This is a really well engineered mid level flat bar road bike with all the same specs as the larger brands such as Giant or Trek, but without the price tag. This bike comes with an Alutech 6061 hydroformed alloy road frame with carbon forks. The gears and componentry are all very capable. In fact you wont notice much difference in performance compared to better spec'd machines. The real difference in a bike of this calibre, is the wheels - speak to any "roady" and they will tell you just how much of an impact they make. Polygon have well spec'd the bike with Shimano R501 wheels and Schwalb Lugano tyres, which make hills a breeze and flats even faster. 

Check out the video below for full details:

We cannot ship to PO Boxes. For full shipping details click here.

14 Day Test Ride

We’re so confident that you’ll love our extensive range of bikes, that we’ll let you ride one as your own for a full 14 days and if you don’t like it, simply e-mail us at sales@bicyclesonline.com.au and we’ll pick it up from you, free of charge! Just make sure you keep the box so it can be re-used to send it back. Click here for more information. 

Free Pro Build valued at $99

All of our bicycles come with a Free Pro Build valued at $99. This means that your bicycle will be pre built by our professional mechanics here in our Australian warehouse. For your convenience, safety and comfort all our bikes are fully assembled and test ridden prior to delivery. The bike is then packaged back into a box for secure shipment.

 

When your bike arrives, all you have to attach is the front wheel, handlebar and pedals, everything else has been done – the headset has been adjusted, wheels trued, pedals and seat post greased, brakes and gears calibrated, even the tyres have been pumped up to the correct pressure.

Most companies simply sell you the bike as it comes from the factory, which will require significant know-how to get your bike on the road. Currently we are the only Australian company providing this service, and have the 14 day test ride to back it up.

Product Reviews

  1. Happy Customer

    Posted by Rusty on 21st Apr 2013

    Very happy with my recent purchase. The delivery was just as promised, on time and in good order. Have taken the bike for a few rides now and am very happy with the results. Very light and easy to handle. Good value comparing this bike to other brands with similar specs.


  2. good looking bike, fast delivery

    Posted by Unknown on 28th Mar 2013

    Was happy with the looks and how light it was. It looks sturdy and durable. I could not find any other bike having the same specs for the same price; its just the best value.

    however paint came off when the lock hit the frame once.


  3. Light and speedy!

    Posted by Sasha on 5th Mar 2013

    I was on a lookout for a reasonably priced flat bar bike for a long time. This bike ticked all the boxes and seemed like a pretty good deal. And I can honestly say I have no regrets! It’s very light and easy to manouvre, looks the part and handles beautifully. The bike was assembled to a high standard and did not need any further tuning. The guys in the shop were very helpful and provided an excellent service. Would highly recommend!


  4. Quality bike

    Posted by Joe on 23rd Feb 2013

    Did a lot of research on a reasonable price flat bar road bike and the Polygon Helios F3.0 appeared to have the best features. Living in WA I was a bit sceptical of purchasing on line due to the distance to transport it. Placed an order and the bike was delivered undamaged within a few days, on assembly I was impressed with the quality of the bike frame and fittings. Bike rides great, so great I ordered another yesterday to replace my wife's bike.
