Cane Creek’s Helm fork debuted three years ago, and since that time a 29” version and a coil-sprung option have been added to the mix. For 2020 the fork has received several significant updates to ensure that it can continue to hold its own in the competitive trail / enduro segment of the market.

The chassis and overall look remain relatively the same (other than the limited edition hot pink option); it’s on the inside where the bulk of the updates took place. Those include a new compression and mid-valve circuit, lighter weight damper oil, and a redesigned air piston, all changes intended to help the fork achieve the ideal balance of buttery smoothness and support.

The Helm MKII is available for 29” or 27.5” wheels with between 130 – 160mm of travel that can be adjusted internally. It’s priced at $899 USD, or $950 if you want to snag a hot pink one.
