Can finally ditch the Yari and bolt on the Helm, Ehh? 

Any chance this is a pre-production Helm with Yari decals on it?  Wink

Not anymore...  Cool

Ive been on a HELM prototype for a while now and this thing has been sitting in my bike room and needs to be used by someone. 

Its just a regular Yari but still a great fork actually. Not HELM nice but nice...

buy my fork and I'll write you a novel haha...

Seriously its a great fork but I am biased. I have ridden the Pike and Float 36 and can honestly say its as good as both... probably better if you favor a more progressive spring rate and tend to ride more aggressively. With zero volume reduction it behaves similarly to the Pike with 1 token. I run mine two clicks down on the volume plate and only bottom on the gnarliest stuff but still get a really supportive mid and supply top stroke. If you're a charger this fork is for you.

The chassis is stiffer which allows the fork a more "planted" feel which is nice when tracking through Pisgah gnar at speed. We have fairly large volume air chambers which give a very coil-like feel in the first 30% of stroke.

We have them in the Hub, Motion Makers, Billy Goat Bikes, and Sycamore for Demo next time you are in the Pisgah and want to try it... 

27.5 with 110x15 spacing only though...
