FUJI HELION R | A drop-bar minivelo that lets you enjoy serious riding even with small wheels
Light and nimble. A chromoly minivelo that shines in the city.
The FUJI HELION R is a serious minivelo that combines a classic horizontal chromoly frame with drop handlebars. While possessing the easy handling unique to small-wheeled bikes, it also offers the exhilarating ride feel of a road bike.
The combination of slender butted chromoly tubes and 451 wheels makes for a very light initial pedal stroke. It allows for a brisk ride even in cities with frequent stops and starts, and offers a smooth, extended feel that makes you want to take the long way home.
The all-black componentry is another major appeal of the HELION R. While based on a classic aesthetic, the overall atmosphere is sharp and modern. It has a presence that naturally catches the eye even when parked in the city.
Furthermore, the adoption of an ahead stem increases the freedom for customization, such as adjusting the handlebars and riding position. This minivelo can be enjoyed for a long time, from city riding to short touring, tailored to your own style.

The ease of use of a mini velo with the performance of a road bike.
The FUJI HELION R is a compact mini velo road bike with 20-inch wheels. Although small in appearance, it features drop handlebars and STI levers, giving it a truly sporty ride.
It's easy to handle in the city, with good maneuverability and quick starts from traffic lights. While it's a convenient size for daily commutes, once you start riding, you'll experience the exhilarating feeling of a road bike.
A clean look created by a horizontal frame
The slim chromoly frame and horizontal silhouette are attractive.
A major appeal of the HELION R is its horizontal frame, where the top tube runs parallel to the ground. This gives it a refined appearance reminiscent of classic road bikes, preventing it from looking too cute despite being a mini velo.
Even the smallest size maintains the horizontal design, making it an easy choice for shorter riders without compromising on looks. The design blends naturally with everyday wear and provides a strong sense of ownership.
451 wheels for a comfortable ride in the city
Balances the lightness of a small-wheeled bike with speed.
The HELION R uses 451 standard wheels, which are larger than the 20-inch wheels commonly found on small-wheeled bikes. Compared to the 406 size, which is common on many small-wheeled bikes, it offers better speed retention, allowing for a brisk pace even in the city.
While it's not a model designed for high-speed cruising like a 700C road bike, it offers sufficient performance for commuting, city riding, and weekend short rides. You can comfortably enjoy the maneuverability and nimble feel of a sports bike in your daily life.
Summary: A serious mini velo road bike perfect for everyday life
The FUJI HELION R is a bike that perfectly balances the ease of use of a mini velo with the ride quality of a road bike.
The HELION R's appeal lies in its beautiful chromoly frame silhouette, nimble 451 wheels, and authentic operation with STI levers. It's compact and easy to ride, yet incredibly fun once you get going.
This mini velo road bike is perfect for daily use, but also recommended for those who want to venture a little further on weekends.
