Early Rider Hellion 24

The Helion 24 is built for performance, featuring a triple-butted aluminium frame with a CNC'd chainstay yoke, threaded thru axles for stiffness, and sliding dropouts for adaptability. Its long, low, slack geometry ensures confidence, balance, and playful handling on technical trails. Shimano Deore 1x11 delivers precise, durable shifting with a clutch derailleur to prevent chain slap, while tubeless-compatible wheels and 2.25" tyres provide grip and durability. Dropper-ready for ultimate progression and control.

Built for performance, the Helion 24 features a triple-butted aluminium frameset with a CNC'd chainstay yoke that’s precision engineered to take big hits and accommodate an impressive 2.6” tyre if required. The Hellion 24 comes ready spec'd with a 2.25”/

The frame tubing has been deliberately crafted to balance strength (at the pressure points) with lightness, ensuring we don’t waste valuable grams where we don’t need it.

Threaded thru axles ramp up frame stiffness while sliding dropouts give them handling and size adjustments as they progress.

Simple, versatile and durable, Shimano’s Deore 5100 1x11 gives progressing riders the gear ratio they need with none of the fuss.

The simple 1x set-up is fully optimised for technical trail and jump lines without adding any unnecessary weight.

Shimano’s HyperGlide+ shifting gives quick, precise feedback and seamless shifting even under load while the Shadow+ Rear derailleur uses clutch technology to prevent chain slap and slip on the big hits.

That’s the assignment and we understood it.

The Helion 24 is built for performance with a geometry optimised for speed, technical acumen and confidence on the gnarly bits.

The low centre of gravity keeps them balanced in the berms while the slack head tube angle takes (some of the drama) out of descending. The short seat stays give the bike a playful responsive feel (while also making manuals a breeze).
