Verified OwnerNice fork, but don’t care for neg chamber filling process. Not sure if or how much air is transferring to the neg side when pressing the valve. Would rather have another shreader valve to fill the chamber.

Verified OwnerHelm MKII was purchased to pair up with the Cane Creek AIR IL that I have on my REEB SST.
I purchased the 150mm but I’ve also ridden the 140mm version. This shock is the best riding shock I’ve ridden, it has a great small bump damping effect but can handle the big drops and jumps with ease.
Definitely take time out to learn about how to set up this fork, it functions differently than other forks.
My only criticism is the price point and only because I feel many other riders would choose this shock if the price comparison was better when weighing it against FOX or DVO.
Even with the price I’d recommend this fork without hesitation.

Just yesterday I was talking with a local pro rider and he said this, “I’ve had them all, Zeb, Lyrik, 36, 38, Ohlins, DVO…you name it, I’ve ridden it. The Helm is the best. It’s the smoothest, most responsive, and best of them all. It’s not even close.” I have to say I agree 100%. There aren’t many upgrades on a mountain bike more impactful than the fork, and the Helm is the best. Hands down. No questions.
