Cane Creek Releases the HELM Coil 27.5 Fork

Cane Creek Cycling Components has new products at this year’s Eurobike International Cycling Expo – HELM Coil 27.5, a coil-sprung version of the company’s popular HELM suspension fork and the Slamset headset, a premium headset with a stack-height as low as 2mm.

“Cane Creek has always been about giving riders product that allows them to ride the way they want to ride,” said Brent Graves, President and CEO of Cane Creek. “There are riders who love the unmatched traction of a coil fork and people who prefer the infinite adjustability of an air fork, now they have both options from Cane Creek. Giving riders options to ride their bike their way is what Cane Creeks products are all about.”

HELM Coil 27.5

Coil confidence is being rediscovered by enduro riders all over the world. Fork chassis weight and overall bicycle weight have decreased over the last few years, creating a renaissance in coil sprung suspension products.

Preload adjuster all the way in, providing 8mm of preload on the coil spring.

Simply move the spring perch, which is secured by an o-ring.

HELM Coil 27.5 is optimized for 130mm to 160mm of travel, with the ability to be internally adjusted by changing the location of the spring perch [coil piston] on the travel-indexed compression rod. This procedure requires no additional parts.

Slamset

The Slamset is a premium headset developed for riders seeking to lower their handlebars to stack heights as low as 2mm without compromising bearing seal and proper preload. The headset also includes Cane Creek’s new Hellbender bearing – a heavy-duty stainless steel sealed bearing designed to withstand the most extreme riding conditions.
