The Helm MKII is our first major revision of the Helm fork lineup and improves on its predecessor in nearly every way.
The Helm MKII includes a newly designed damper featuring a new compression and mid-valve circuit for increased support and control while a new SKF oil seal head and 2.5 weight damper oil reduce friction and provide a more supple ride-feel.
All Helm MKII forks are built to order by hand in our facility in North Carolina, USA and will ship in 7-14 days.
Orders containing suspension are made to order and ship in 7-14 days.
All 29″ fork returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee.
All 27.5″ forks are final sale.

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 OwnerSoft paint finish on lowers mars and scrapes far to easily, otherwise this fork is flawless. Dampening works as advertised and it is very versatile and user friendly. I would buy another.

Verified OwnerOnly have a few rides on the fork, feels good so far. Not sure I like the negative chamber set up, seems to want to suck my fork down. Think I’ve got it sorted out now. Clearance seems a little tight with a Helm fender installed. Not sure I could get a 2.6 or larger tire in there.
