Cane Creek Double Barrel Kitsuma Air shock

Cane Creek is proud to introduce the DB Kitsuma, a highly adjustable shock absorber for maximum performance in an incredibly intuitive and user-friendly design. DB Kitsuma is based on the DNA of the original Double Barrel range of shock absorbers and improves upon its predecessors in almost every way. It's suitable for all kinds of riding styles, body types, and bike frame designs without the need for internal valve adjustments, changes, or compromises.

Tool-free adjustment

You don't have to stretch your neck under your bike while fiddling with tiny hex keys to make adjustments. DB Kitsuma has completely tool-free adjusters that are ergonomically designed so that you can easily access them and adjust them along the way.

See and feel what your attitudes are

Gone are the days of counting clicks up and down to know where you are and to make adjustments. The entire range of low-speed compression from the DB Kitsuma is controlled in a single turn, while the high-speed compression is controlled in two turns, so that the driver can easily see at a glance where you are in your setting. Thanks to the large, multi-indexed adjusters from DB Kitsuma, the rider has full control and a feel for how his bike works in a variety of real scenarios.

More freedom for more bikes

The new valve body and the new air chamber from DB Kitsuma were redesigned taking into account the geometry of modern bicycles. They cut 16mm from the external reservoir and reduce the outer diameter of the air chamber at the end eye. All in all, this results in a new, low profile design that allows the DB Kitsuma to be mounted on more bikes without framing clearance issues.

DB Kitsuma is equipped with a single lever that toggles the shock absorber between three different modes, drastically affecting the feel and character of the shock absorber. The new three-position climb switch maintains Double Barrel's "descent" mode. The patented "CS" mode provides a stable, yet responsive platform that maximizes traction and pedaling efficiency when climbing over technical terrain and single trails. DB Kitsuma also adds the new "Firm" mode. This third position is great for pedaling along long stretches of road or gravel roads on the way to the trail.
