The Helm MKII Coil combines the innovative damper and chassis features Cane Creek forks are known for with next-level coil sensitivity and predictability.  The coil sprung version of the Helm MKII brings consistent confidence to attack the roughest most off-camber sections of trail with ease. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand-built in North Carolina\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery single Helm fork is designed, built, inspected, tested and packed by a dedicated team of suspension professionals at facility in Fletcher, North Carolina. Cane Creek's suspension team’s attention to detail is illustrated in three step Dyno testing, ensuring that hand built products reach high standards of precision and performance. This process includes: Individual Damper Assemblies compression and rebound verification; Helm Chassis validation of the spring and damper; final hand dyno to ensure quality and supple feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUpdated damper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e130mm – 160mm Travel settings. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to use Preload adjuster. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew compression and midvalve circuit for increased support and control. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew SKF low friction oil seal head cartridge. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh performance damper oil from Motorex. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew SKF low friction wiper seals installed in the castings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustments: High speed compression (10 positions), Low speed compression (17 positions), Low speed rebound (10 positions), Indexed travel adjust system, Spring pre-load adjust. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStanchion Diameter: 35mm. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Brake Rotor Size: 180mm (If you are using a Hope Tech brake on a Helm fork, you will need to use a 200mm rotor with appropriate adapter). \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravel: Optimized for 130-160mm of travel. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravel Adjustments: Internal, 10mm Increments (160mm down to 130mm). \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxle \/ Spacing \/ Offset: \"D-Loc\" 15mm Bolt-on thru axle  \/ 15mm x 110 BOOST spacing \/ 51mm and 44mm. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Tire Size: 64mm wide by 749 mm tall (29) \/ 75 mm wide by 739 mm tall (27.5+). \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring: 55 lb Lightweight Coil Spring included from factory. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring Recommendations: 35lb spring – AAG0421 RED – (90-120lbs rider); 45lb spring – AAG0422 BLACK – (120-160lbs rider); 55lb spring – AAG0424 GREEN – (160-200lbs rider); 55lb spring comes pre-installed from the factory; 65lb spring – AAG0426 BLUE –  (200-240lbs rider). \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith changes in internal travel amount, rider positioning on the bicycle, bicycle head angle, and rider ability\/style, spring rates will vary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4ljfaE1Fy-k\" title=\"Helm MKII\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lWvuNKFBfSI\" title=\"Cane Creek Service Video: How to Travel Change a HELM MKII Coil Fork\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v7tkennPjyU\" title=\"Cane Creek Service Video: Helm MKII Coil Spring Change\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Cane Creek","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 160 mm","offer_id":48058156220657,"sku":"BAG0692","price":1475.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/1580\/4145\/files\/zm_20230216-090044.jpg?v=1776529394","url":"https:\/\/novasportsbikes.com\/products\/cane-creek-helm-mkii-coil-29275-boost-rake-44-mm-fork-1","provider":"Nova Sports Bikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
