The Cane Creek HELM MKII Air is a high-performance suspension fork built for aggressive trail, enduro, and all-mountain riders who demand precision, tunability, and support across varied terrain. This second-generation HELM builds on the strengths of the original with a refined air spring, updated damper tuning, and a lighter, stiffer chassis.

With 35mm stanchions, a floating axle, and a self-balancing air spring system, the HELM MKII Air delivers supple small-bump compliance while maintaining mid-stroke support and bottom-out control. It’s fully adjustable, giving riders the ability to fine-tune their suspension with high- and low-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and air volume control.
