Why We Love It
The Helm MKII is Cane Creek's first major update of the Helm fork lineup and improves on its predecessor in nearly every way. Hand-built in Western North Carolina and rigorously tested and developed in the Appalachian Mountains.

Featuring an updated damper design with new compression and mid valve circuits, a new SKF oil seal head, and Motorex 2.5 weight damper oil. All of these elements work to reduce friction and increase sensitivity.

Every single Helm fork is designed, built, inspected, tested and packed by a dedicated team of suspension professionals at Cane Creek's facility in Fletcher, North Carolina. Their suspension team’s attention to detail is illustrated in Cane Creek's three step Dyno testing, ensuring that their hand built products reach high standards of precision and performance.

The HELM’s Damper is the control center of the fork – highly sensitive check springs, valves and shims control the flow of oil with every compression and rebound as you ride down the trail. Cane Creek’s Development Team equips the MKII with new compression and mid valve circuits to maintain control during heavy braking and square edge scenarios.

A redesigned SKF Oil Seal Head and Motorex damper oil work together to protect the internal damper components while simultaneously reducing friction.
