Cane Creek have been busy working on a new fork! It features what appears to be a clever negative air chamber equalizer button which may turn out to be a great addition, especially for people who ride at different altitudes or who otherwise find themselves tinkering with air spring pressure.

Setting sag:
"D-LOC" Quick release axle:
There's also what looks like a clever way to adjust the air spring volume (instead of using tokens, the Helm uses a piston that can be moved to achieve the same effect):

There are two color versions which appear to be otherwise the same fork, both are going on sale for $1100 USD.
SPECS:
WEIGHT: 2070 grams
DAMPING: High Speed Compression, Low Speed Compression, Low Speed Rebound.
ADJUSTMENTS: 7-way adjustable suspension fork.
High speed compression.
Low speed compression.
Low speed rebound.
Air volume adjust (8-position Internal indexed system).
Independent positive air spring.
Independent negative air spring.
Indexed travel adjust system.
SPRING: High volume positive and negative air springs.
STANCHION DIAMETER: 35mm.
TRAVEL: Positioned at 160mm from the factory. Optimized for 140-170mm of travel.
TRAVEL ADJUSTMENTS: Internal, 10mm Increments (170mm down to 100mm).
AXLE / SPACING / OFFSET: "D-Loc" 15mm thru axle system / 15mm x 110 BOOST spacing / 44mm.
MSRP: $1100 USD
