Helm MKII 29in Air Fork

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"What I love about the Helm MKII Air is how customizable it is out of the box—no tokens, no extra kits. The air volume tuning system lets me dial the exact feel I want, and I’ve noticed a big improvement in traction on choppy trails. Plus, the chassis stiffness gives me confidence when I’m pushing hard."

The Cane Creek Helm MKII Air Fork is purpose-built for riders who demand precision, adjustability, and plush control over varied terrain. Featuring a double-air spring system with high-volume positive and negative chambers, it delivers ultra-smooth small-bump sensitivity while preserving ample support deep into the travel. Riders can easily adjust travel internally from 120mm to 160mm in 10mm increments without any additional parts—making it one of the most versatile trail-to-enduro forks available.

Where the Helm MKII Air really shines is in its fully independent damper tuning. With high- and low-speed compression knobs and a low-speed rebound circuit, every adjustment makes a noticeable difference, allowing riders to tailor the fork to the exact terrain and riding style. Cane Creek’s proprietary air volume tuning system goes a step further, offering infinite adjustability over mid-stroke and bottom-out feel—no spacers, just smooth control with real-world benefits.

The 35mm stanchions and stiff chassis provide the confident handling required for hard-charging descents, while the BOOST axle spacing and 44mm offset ensure modern compatibility with aggressive trail and enduro bikes. Hand-built and dyno-tested in North Carolina, the Helm MKII Air combines boutique craftsmanship with race-proven capability. It's a high-performance fork for riders who want precision-tuned suspension and superior ride feel, mile after mile.
