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.
All Helm MKII forks are built to order by hand in our facility in North Carolina, USA. Helm MKII Coil 27.5’s will ship within 5-7 business days
Orders containing suspension are made to order and ship in 5-10 days.
All 29″ fork returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee.
All 27.5″ forks are final sale.

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!
Verified OwnerThe 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

Verified OwnerCame 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.
