HELM AIR MKII 29"- AURORA Limited Edition (100 total produced)
Helm MKII Aurora are hand-painted using the Saran Texture Method to give each fork its own unique pattern. The color changing paint transitions from gold to green to bronze, depending on the light. This color and texture combination bears a striking resemblance to the Aurora Borealis – a spellbinding natural light phenomenon, witnessed at high latitudes in Winter.
Helm MKII’s include a newly designed damper featuring a new compression and mid-valve circuit for increased support and control while a new SKF oil seal head and 2.5-weight damper oil reduce friction and provide a more supple ride feel.
All Helm MKII forks are easily travel-adjusted at home.
Don’t wait – Helm MKII Aurora is available in extremely limited quantities, in stock now!
