Cane Creek Helm MKII 29in Air Fork Gloss Purple, 160mm, 44mm offset

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve ridden a lot of forks, but the Helm MKII Air stands out with its dialed tunability. The independent high- and low-speed compression adjustments actually make a difference, and the air volume tuning gives me complete control over how it handles mid-stroke support and bottom-out resistance. It’s smooth, supportive, and bombproof.""From high-alpine missions to aggressive trail rides, the Cane Creek Helm MKII Air Fork brings a new level of control and tunability to our ride. Built to handle everything from 120mm downcountry setups to full-on 160mm enduro rigs, this fork gives us the freedom to adapt without swapping parts. Thanks to the double-air spring system and ultra-plush damper updates, we get buttery small bump sensitivity with enough support to push hard through technical terrain. Every click counts—literally. The Helm Air gives us independently adjustable high- and low-speed compression, a low-speed rebound circuit, and an air volume system that lets us fine-tune mid- and end-stroke feel without spacers or special tools. Whether we're chasing traction in chattery corners or charging into rock gardens, we feel planted, precise, and in full control. And with a chassis stiff enough for enduro abuse plus sleek North Carolina hand-built quality, this fork doesn't just ride well—it elevates the whole bike."
