Good question! Stratos is more of an endurance road bike, Helios is an aero race bike. The way we see it, if you’re riding road for long periods of time as a weekend warrior, go stratos. If you’re competing, go Helios.
The Helios, A7 especially, is definitely appropriate for climbing. The shallower section wheels of the A7 will help with climbing efficiency than say the A8 or A9X.
What eye catchy bike, in love at first sight with Helios series A7 and also A8 😍🤩❤
Glad you think so too! 🤩
Damn. This is an impressive bike at a great price!
Glad you think so!

It really is!
is this better or the stratos s7/s8 better?

is the geometry appropriate for climbing or should we go strattos?

Is it available as a frame set only?
It is not, unfortunately. The A7 will be the lowest entry point to acquire the frameset.
Is the Strattos a carbon frame as well?
Strattos has had alloy models as well as carbon models available.
Is it di2 compatable?
it shares the same frame as the A8X which is Di2. With that being said, you can certainly upgrade down the line.
Whwn will the XL be back in stock?
We would advise signing up for restock alerts on the website as there are many variables to when bikes are back in stock.
