If there were a keyboard combo for “sexy whistle”, I’d have typed that.  Stronglight’s new carbon crankset is a looker, and the specs are pretty impressive, too.
The Helion replaces last year’s X-Wing model and comes with ceramic bearings and ceramic Teflon® coated chainrings, which, as their website proclaims, allows you to “ceramic your performances!”  I don’t know either.  Full specs after the break…
