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.
29 inch Helm forks come in a gloss black finish with matte black stickers and 27.5 Helm forks will come in a matte black finish with gloss black stickers.
All forks are built to order by hand in our facility in North Carolina, USA.
New SKF low friction wiper seals installed in the castings.
