Product Spotlight: Helium Mini Brakes.

When it comes to lightweight high performance BMX gear for the groms, names like LDC and Calculated/VSR come to mind but there’s also Helium. Helium have been looking after the little dudes and dudettes in the sport for years. Some might say pandering to the Factory Mums & Dads. No matter how you look at it they are passionate about finding the best set up for racers around the world.

The first thing in their product range that caught my eye was the brakes designed specifically for the groms and the FMD’s. They offer long reach, lots of adjustment, plenty of colour options, precision braking on sealed bearings and at an impressive 78 grams.  Oh and to answer your question, yes, they can be matched up with the Helium Micro SL (Short Reach) Lever.
