Feels incredible, I upgraded from a Fox rhythm grip and it was instantly better. It gives me more traction on the uphills and the take offs on a jump are much better supported and smooth. This fork very smoothly moves from early to mid to late travel and I feel the progression but not a jerky stair-step type deal. I was able to install it myself and never needed to take it to the shop which was also amazing. 10/10 would recommend

    I’ve used the big two brands for a long time, they were good but never great. I got a Smokin deal on a Helm MK2. Holy smokes why did I wait so long! Better tracking, supple and supportive. It is the fork I had been needing for a long time. This paired with the Kitsuma coil on my Stevo is an amazing trail/enduro setup

    Fork made a big change to my bike. I had a Fox Rhythm on it. No control over bottom out. The Helm solved that and gave a much plusher ride.

    Soft 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.

Nice 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.

Only 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.
