Bergamont Helix (non-electric, Helix 6 / 7 / Tour)
Origin
The non-electric Helix was Bergamont's everyday-trekking workhorse from the mid-2010s through the early 2020s, sitting one step below the sportier Vitess and one step above the city Sponsor. The 'Tour' tag, and the numbered trims Helix 4, 5, 6 and 7, all referred to the same 28-inch aluminium trekking platform — full mudguards, rear rack, integrated lights, ergonomic Ergon grips, suspension fork with lockout — sold as a do-everything bike for daily commuting plus light multi-day touring on Baltic / Nordic asphalt and packed gravel. Helix 7 was the top non-electric trim and retailed around €999. From 2024 onward Bergamont effectively retired the unassisted Helix and re-used the name for its new Bosch SX e-trekking platform (see E-Helix entry), so the non-electric Helix Tour is now a used-market bike. There is still active aftermarket support because the platform shares mounts and geometry with the new e-Helix frame.
