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.

Absolutely mind blowing fork. I have two other Ultimate forks on other bikes and the Helm blows them away with small bump initiation and large hit support. I’m about 220 lbs and this fork works extremely well for me. Setup was super easy, too, just follow instructions. It feels more coil-like to me than my other forks, more predictable, more active, and more responsive to small chatter stuff. It’s pretty remarkable.
