Great bike - great value – After first purchasing Helios 500 at Bicycles Online at Manly, and 10 days later had the chance to upgrading it to Helios 700, I now know the reason… Read more

why friends recommended me a carbon fiber frame bike. I've been a MTB rider for years, but needed a fast and light road bike for commuting to work.

I'm not an expert in road bikes, as this is the first time I've ever had one, but I found Helios 700 very responsive, light and fun bike to ride. It looks great and hope it will serve me well for years to come.

Shimano 105 is an ok system, more than good enough for commuting to work.

Bicycles Online have very helpful, A+ for great service. responsive, light, great wheelset

Road Racer! – I was looking for a new bike to replace my 6 year old carbon-framed Orbea with 105 setup. At a price range of around $3000 I was looking at picking… Read more

up a similarly specced bike with a carbon frame. Basically what I was hoping was that I would get something a little bit lighter with a little more snap than my tired old warhorse.

Living in Manly I had seen the showroom for Bicycles Online and had also visited the website, so after plucking up some courage I stepped in and took the 900 for a short test ride. It was immediately obvious this bike had the required pep and was very light. The spec is ridiculous for the money in comparison to what is available in other local bike stores, with the wheels / drive train being worth the price on their own. I was sold then and there.

The frame appears really well made with internal cable routing and a sweet color scheme. I love the hexagonal shape of the top tube and the whole bike is SUPER light coming in at 7kgs, although it feels robust enough to handle my bulk (88kgs). Wheelset is the top of the line Fulcrum zeros, which are very fast rolling and the Dura-ace drive train operates noticeably better than the 105 gear on my Orbea.

On the flat the bike rolls along very smoothly and encourages a high pace / high cadence. Power is transmitted very quickly from pedal to wheel giving you a feeling of direct acceleration. However it also feels really comfy over longer 100km plus rides and feels like it doesn't burn your energy too quickly.

Going up hills the bike offers plenty and is equally happy if you sit in or rise up out of the saddle. It is way quicker than my old bike and really encourages you to push yourself hard.

On descents the steering is lively but direct and the wheels offer confidence. However, over bumpy ground the frame does transmit a lot of vibration and the front end can feel a bit skittish but this is only at 65kph plus. Under heavy braking there is some flex from the all carbon cockpit but the actual stopping power is very good.

I had one problem with a fixing bolt shearing on the front mech, which, as it turns out, is like a lightening strike - very, very rare as it is a none moving part. Happily when I took the bike back the guys changed it with no fuss and a lot of apologies. First class service.

The staff set the bike up for you when it arrives, and will give the bike a tuneup after the first 1000km or so. I think my local bike shop is better in terms of quality of mechanic, as the tune up is not as smooth as when I come out of the service at the local bike shop.

That said this company is not marketing itself as mechanics shop - they sell quality bikes cheap.

With that in mind the only downside as I see it is the slight level of skittishness at breakneck speeds downhill and a lack of publicity and / or reviews of the product for potential purchasers to see.

If you can get one, get one. CHEAP. Super light, quick and very responsive. Spec for the money is outstanding. Frame feels well built and has a good colour scheme. Good service Slightly bumpy and a bit skittish at very high speeds downhill. Lack of publicity / reviews mean that little information about product available to prospective purchasers.

frame geometry makes for a comfortable semi-upright ride. Topeak Super Tourist non-disk model rear rack can be made to fit with a little bush mechanics.

I actually can't believe how good this bike is – This bike blows me away. It rides brilliantly, very fast and also more comfortable than I expected for such a race focussed bike. I didn't get to… Read more

ride a Polygon before ordering, but I don't think that is anything to get hung up on.

I have to admit the main factor in my decision to go with the Helios 800 was actually due to the incredible value of all the parts fitted as standard, but once I pulled it out of the box it was the frame that really jumped out at me. The design and finish is awesome, and once I rode it I knew I had made the right choice. Great handling, stable and quick turning, and the power transmission is good too.

But the value is incredible, no other well built bike can touch this thing for the price. I really like the way the Bicycles Online website breaks it down against the competition, it makes the choice clearer!

I have only just bought it, but can't stop riding it. I totally recommend this bike. Fast! Looks great, rides even better. Love the frame, the wheels, hell all of it.

Very well equipped lightweight bike – I have own this bike for 3 months having bought a 2011 model virtually unused. The specifications and equipment attracted me. With a Topeak Super… Read more

Tourist rack the bike looks like a retro Dutch bike. All matt black including the spokes. It is equipped with:- Hydraulic dics brakes, Hub dynamo, 11 speed Shimano hub gears, carbon belt drive and sprung front forks plus more. But its light due to the Polygon frame. Fast over the ground due to the gearing and ability to soak up rough surfaces.

The only downsde is the geometry of the frame. Great on a cycleway but no city hybrid able to pick its way around potholes, gutters and parked cars. Good straight liner, not nibble.
