Cane Creek DB Kitsuma Coil Rear Shock

The Double Barrel Kitsuma Air shock from Cane Creek offers you maximum performance with an incredibly user-friendly design for intuitive handling. No tools are required to make adjustments. The clear rotary elements are easy to operate and offer the possibility to adjust damping behaviour directly on the trail.

Features:

• 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 on the market today. The rebound range has also been shifted downward for more rebound damping to accommodate the larger spring rates needed for more modern bikes.
• See & Feel Your Settings: Gone are the days of counting clicks backward and forward to know where you are and make adjustments. 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, allowing 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.
• A Better Shock for More Bikes: Redesigned with the geometry of modern bikes in mind, DB Kitsuma's new valve body and tapered air-can cuts 16 mm of length off the external reservoir and reduces the air can's outer diameter at the end-eye. All-in-all, this adds up to a new low-profile design which allows DB Kitsuma to fit more bikes free of frame-clearance issues.
• 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 Double Barrel's "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 pedaling over long stretches of pavement or gravel roads on your way to the trail.
• Tuned for Today's (and Tomorrow's) Bikes: DB Kitsuma boasts a wider range of damping adjustment on the compression circuit and increased range of rebound control over any other major shock on the market today. The rebound range has also been shifted downward for more rebound damping to accommodate the larger spring rates needed for more modern bikes. These changes combine to allow the DB Kitsuma to provide peak performance on a wider range of bikes.
