We are proud to announce the release of the new Helm MKII suspension fork. The Helm MKII will be our first major revision of the Helm fork lineup and improves on its predecessor in nearly every way.
-
The HELM MKII newly designed damperfeatures 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.
-
The Helm MKII redesigned air springhas a new air piston designed to reduce friction, an increased air volume for better traction and suppleness, and a threadless seal head for easier travel change. In addition to the updated damper and air spring, the HELM MKII features a variety of external usability improvements including easier to turn knobs and a D-LOC bolt-on axle.
