Cane Creek Double Barrel Kitsuma 230x57.5mm Stroke Rear Air Shock Black

Pro-Tune at Your Fingertips
While meeting and riding with riders and dealers at events it became clear to Cane Creek that most riders' suspension settings are not optimal. In many cases riders suspension may be hindering their ability to maintain control and gain the most from their frame's suspension design. One of the key reasons for incorrect suspension set up is that dialling in suspension is largely a trial and error process completed on the trail. Often this process is hampered by access and the need for tools to adjust the shock. In response to this issue Cane Creek set out to make it easy for riders to get the most out of their shock by making adjustments easier and less intimidating. The whole idea behind the Double Barrel Kitsuma shock was to take a complex and high-tech piece of componentry and make it very intuitive and easy to use for the rider.

Wider Range of Adjustment
DB Kitsuma boasts a wider range of damping adjustment on the compression circuit and increased range of rebound control over any other major shock. The rebound range has also been shifted downward for more rebound damping to accommodate the larger spring rates needed for modern MTB geometry.

See and Feel What Your Settings Are
The entire range of DB Kitsuma's low-speed compression and rebound circuits are controlled within a single rotation, while the high-speed circuits are controlled within two rotations. This allows the rider to easily reference where they are within their adjustment at a glance. DB Kitsuma simplifies the tuning process by increasing the range of adjustment while reducing the number of external positions in each circuit - making each position more meaningful and discernible on the trail.

Tool-Free Adjustment
No need to crane your neck under your bike while fumbling with tiny Allen wrenches to make adjustments. DB Kitsuma sports completely tool-free adjusters that are ergonomically designed to be easily accessible and adjustable trail-side - giving riders the power of a pro-tune at their fingertips.

Three Position Climb Switch
DB Kitsuma is equipped with a single lever that switches the shock between three distinct modes, drastically affecting the shock's feel and character. The new three position climb switch retains the "Descend" mode and patented "CS" mode which provides a stable yet responsive platform engineered to maximize traction and pedal efficiency while climbing over technical terrain and singletrack. DB Kitsuma also adds a new "Firm" mode. By utilizing a design that closes off the common bleed port, this third position excels at pedalling over long stretches of pavement or gravel roads on your way to the trail."
