The Helix is a fine bike. There have been a number of owner reviews already - some quite detailed - especially when the first ones produced shipped and finally got into the hands of the early backers. Some people still complain about the weight, the engineering, etc. Whatever. It's not perfect - nothing is - but if you backed the bike early on, you got an incredible bike for the price. Even at the current price, it's still a great bike for what it does have.
I'm not entirely sure what kind of reviews you're looking for. If by professional you mean someone at, say, Bicycling Magazine, then no, I don't think there has been such a review. However, given how dedicated most folding cyclists are, I think many of the real world reviews would suffice. I think there was a separate thread too dedicated to Helix owners.
