The original Helm fork impressed many riders with its stiff chassis, supportive feel, and a host of innovative features. It was a fork that liked it rough and performed best at high speeds under hard-charging riders.
The Mark II retains many of the great features of the original Helm, but Cane Creek has tweaked, tuned, and improved the damper and air spring to create a fork with the ideal balance of buttery smoothness and support.
The fork is available in both air and coil sprung versions. You are currently looking at the air-sprung fork.
Features:
Spring type: This fork uses a manually equalised air spring. This differs from most other forks in that you will need to equalise the positive and negative air springs by pressing a release valve at the base of the fork. This requires an extra step in the setup process but it does provide you with extra potential to tune the fork to your liking by varying the pressure between the two air springs.
Wheel size compatibility: Available in options to suit 29/27.5+ and 27.5" wheels.
Weight: 2080g (29 Air)
Fork offset:
Volume adjustability: Air volume can be changed internally without the need for spacers via an indexed 8 position air volume adjustment system.
Stanchion diameter: 35mm
Axle size and style: The fork uses Cane Creek's "D-Loc" axle system. 15mm Bolt-on thru-axle. 15mm x 110 BOOST spacing
Steerer tube standard: Standard 1.5" to 1 1 1/8" taper
Brake mount style: (and size): 180mm post mount
Brake rotor compatibility (minimum / maximum):
