The brand has been on the go for around 20 years. Phil Larose was on their team near the beginning. His pro model from like 06 was a super fun park ski. It evolved into the antigen which is now the Helix 88.
I've skiied the antigen, Helix 88 and 98 and the V82 (discontinued carving ski) all of them are pretty light and responsive. They have a lot of pop due to the bamboo cores and carbon fiber. Durability wise they are average. After a season (60+ days) of rail heavy park skiing, expect them to be compromised. That being said, My Helix 88s are just missing a few pieces of edge and the camber has flattened out with around 150 days of abuse.
I'd highly recommend the Helix 88 to anyone trying to progress quickly in "traditional" park skiing (technical tricks, basically slopestyle skiing). It's one of the few symmetrical sidecut park skis on the market. It's the lightest ski I've ever used and is very quick edge to edge, responsive and intuitive to use. My ARV 96s feel like boats in comparison.
The Helix 98 is a great park-centric all mountain ski. It feels very much like the 88, only a bit more versatile and slightly less quick in general. This could be your one every day ski in Eastern US/Canada.
The v82s are a fun mid-radius carving ski. They're pretty versatile. Softer than a dedicated slalom ski with a slightly larger turn radius. With a low stand height binding mounted, the V82 has a freestyle feel, having loads of pop and being super responsive. They are super fun for side hits and switch carving.
