In this paper, we study the ground state of a one-dimensional exactly solvable model with a spiral order. While the models energy spectra is the same as the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model, its ground state manifests spiral order with various periods. The quantum phase transition from a spiral-order phase to a paramagnetic phase is investigated in perspectives of quantum information science and mechanics. We show that the modes of the ground-state fidelity and its susceptibility can tell the change of periodicity around the critical point. We study also the spin torsion modulus which defines the coefficient of the potential energy stored under a small rotation. We find that at the critical point, it is a constant; while away from the critical point, the spin torsion modulus tends to zero.
