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.

Verified OwnerFirst impressions are very good. Good small bump sensitivity but with a very tunable mid-stroke. The high and low speed adjustments make for meaningful changes with aids in the set up. At 140 mm, this helm has dramatically improved my ride for my ibis ripley V4.

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
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
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.
Great fork
