Polygon's high-end, high-performance Helios 800 road bike just got a performance boost. Introducing the Helios 800X Di2 Ultegra model. In previous models, Polygon utilised monocoque construction for the frame, utilising the highly regarded T700 carbon filaments. For 2012 Polygon whilst the frame looks very similar, however the way the bike is constructed is very different. The frame now uses tube to tube construction with Mitsubishi Rayon filaments. Mitsubishi make better prefrabicated tubes, where as Toray specialise in filament production, so the result? Well it saves the precious weight in the frame. The Shimano Ultegra Di2 ups the ante in terms of shifting performance. Shimano's Ultegra Di2 shifting system is fast and accurate, smooth and consistent and engineered to be highly durable and dependable. Whether you pedal for fun, fitness or competition, you'll appreciate the top-level performance the 800X Di2 Ultegra delivers. 

The wheelset has been matched to the Di2 groupset, being Shimano's latest tubeless offering the WH-6700-G Ultegra. The ability to run tubeless reduces the reciprocating mass, which is ultimately where it counts. 

Furthermore, this bike is set up with Ritchey WCS carbon stem, handlebar and seatpost, as well as a Fizik Arione saddle for efficient and comfortable power transfer. With a setup like this, I think its fair to say that black is the new fast!

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.
