I use Stratos-8D for many full century rides. Am still training for Double Century. I find Stratos-8D is fulfilling for both roles in the sense that I can reach speed of more than 44Km/hr (as long as traffic allows) and also for ultra endurance rides.
I got the helios. Gets a little uncomfortable at 40 mile mark but I still love it. Most of my rides are 20-30 miles. and I have no issue. You really do feel everything so if you like descending you’ll feel confident
These Polygon bikes are made by Insera bike company located at Sidoarjo-East Java- Indonesia. Insera bike company also makes for other brands, e.g. Marin, Schwalbe, Fulcrum, etc.
Great to see Polygon at the highest level of the sport. The new Helios is a stunner! Can't wait for it to launch in Australia

Now I want a Strattos with Di2 and the 50mm carbon wheels. Wish I could get that set up.
I’m torn on what to do.
Hope you get it sorted! Check out our road bike lineup at BikesOnline.com!
@@bikesonline Went a different direction because of the lack of customer support of bikes online.

Is the Strattos more race or endurance? I’ve read that people classify it both ways
Definitely sits in-between race and endurance :)
When can we buy Helios from you in the US? been waiting .... would love to know if we will ever have them here
They're available now at BikesOnline.com!
helios A8x more newer and expensive 2x than stratos 8d with same groupset ultegra, di2 for helios
