Build your perfect ride

"The bottom-out resistance proved to be invaluable when hitting steep, sharp turns where the majority of my weight was over the front wheel. Resistance deep into the travel meant I could corner harder and faster than when riding a fork that blew through its travel."

– Alex Evans, Bike Radar

Recently replaced the stock fork on my 2024 Trek Fuel Ex 9.8. Not going to lie, initially I just wanted a bougie upgrade to go with my new Tigon. So stoked that I pulled the trigger on the Helm Coil. Insane small bump compliance, better mid stroke and bottom out support than the stock fork. Huge thanks to Andy for the chroma studio touches. The Helm is not only an absolute unit, it looks freaking great too!

The helm coil fork is one of the best purchases I have made. Very little weight difference and quiet. Very easy to set up. I will run these from now on

5/5

Came from a Fox 36 Fit4 Factory, and the Helm coil is in a completely different and buttery universe. Personally not noticing the weight difference, and as stiff as I need for any Bay Area trail I'm hitting . Any perceptible loss in efficiency while mashing uphill all goes away when using momentum on the trail or when heading down. Stoked.
