What You Can Win 

 

HELM Suspension Fork is the best fork on the market for female riders. HELM Air boasts air pressures as low as 30-psi, meaning our featherweight riders can adjust and tune the fork to her preference without sacrificing performance. With "the other guys'" forks, you'd be hard-pressed to reach desired sag and performance. Period.

But we know not all women are featherweights. That's why, we recommend a maximum 150-psi, meeting the needs of riders up to 300lbs. Easily-tuned internal air volume and internal travel adjustments mean that any woman can dial in HELM to her ideal amount of travel, ideal air volume progression, and ideal air pressure, simply. Thinking about getting a new bike? No worries! You can easily move the HELM to your new bike as long as they share the same wheel size. HELM Fork is the most versatile fork out there, and one lucky lady is going to walk away with a gift certificate for a HELM Fork of her choice from the ROAM Fest raffle!

 

But wait, there's more! HELM Suspension Fork and DB Rear Shocks go together like peanut butter & jelly, macaroni & cheese, chocolate & chocolate... you get the point. Double Barrel suspension featuring Climb Switch technology allows riders 4-way adjustability to fine tune the feel of the rear end of the bike. Independent high-speed compression, low-speed compression, high-speed rebound, and low-speed rebound gives the rider full control.

You might be thinking to yourself, "I don't need all that" or "It sounds complicated." We'd be willing to bet you've felt like the rear end of your bike wants to push your forward over the handlebars or that you've experienced the undesirable pedal bob inefficiency while climbing. Or perhaps you have a hard time getting the bike in the air? Or you just want the bike to work for you rather than against you? All of these things can be symptoms of poor suspension set-up. We offer multiple channels of rider support to make sure you feel comfortable and confident setting up and maintaining your Double Barrel rear shock. One lucky lady is going to walk away with a gift certificate for a Double Barrel shock of her choice from participating in our demos and/or group rides!
