TAKE CONTROL ON THE TRAIL

The Works Series Helm beats out the competing fork with a stiffer chassis, giving riders more control through chundery sections of trails and rock gardens. This fork is the perfect do-all for riders who regularly ride XC and occasionally rip on more technical and challenging terrain.

HAND-BUILT IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA

Every single Helm fork is designed, built, inspected, tested and packed by a dedicated team of suspension professionals at our facility in Fletcher, North Carolina. Our suspension team’s attention to detail is illustrated in our three step Dyno testing, ensuring that our hand built products reach high standards of precision and performance.

This process includes:

Individual Damper Assemblies compression and rebound verification.
Helm Chassis validation of the spring and damper
Final hand dyno to ensure quality and supple feel.
