Just had my first short ride today and taking a peek here.. I'll say that I got the Helix for BOTH the fold and the ride. I'm not a pro but on the Helix, it was hard to tell that I was not riding a regular bike. I felt that I was moving along as quickly as a regular bike, and when I stood up to mash on it, it felt solid. Going by memory, it Feel very different from a Brompton where there was no question that I was on a bike that felt different from a full sized bike. Also, the vibration seem more damped than a steel bike but that could just be the tires that may need to be more inflated. Not sure on that one. I think the Helix may well the sweet spot for me in terms of all the compromises.
