Cane Creek’s “gravity-first” Kitsuma mountain bike shocks get big tuning and performance upgrades in their 2nd generation, plus lower pricing for both air and coil shock variants.
Developed to give long-travel trail, all-mountain, enduro & DH bikes a tool-free 4-way tunable suspension platform, the Cane Creek Kitsuma prioritizes speed and control when flying downhill. And now, fine-tuning the Kitsuma is even more intuitive, so you spend less time fiddling, and more time riding.
Cane Creek Kitsuma Gen 2 air & coil shocks updated
Fine-tuning your suspension setup is undeniably one of the most important steps to getting the most out of a mountain bike, and to simply going faster downhill. But ultimately shock tuning is a fiddly process and can be time consuming to get it dialed. And many times, stock shocks get custom tunes just for a particular bike’s suspension that can even limit how much the end-user can adjust it to their individual rider preference.
That is essentially Cane Creek’s rationale for the wide range of adjustability in all of its twin-tube Double Barrel dampers. And comparing it to the rest of their shocks, the “Kitsuma’s twin tube damper moves the most oil through the external adjusters, giving the rider the most freedom to select the ride that they need to suit their environment, ride style, and personal preferences.“
That easy, wide-ranging adjustability is also why Cane Creek gave the Kitsuma shocks separate tool-free high- & low-speed damping and compression dials from their 1st generation debut.
But now they’ve made personalizing your tune even simpler, again.
No more counting clicks to worry about.
Just big dials with 360° of adjustment and clearly marked tuning ranges.
“Reading one’s shock settings is now as easy as reading the hands on a clock.”
What’s new in G2?
single 360° turn dials for all 4 adjustments with laser-etched position marks for intuitive tuning at a glance
new machined grooves improve your grip on the easy-turn tuning dials
increased Max level of high-speed rebound damping (HSR) for “Greater control on big hits, hard compressions, take-offs & landings“
decreased Min level of high-speed compression damping (HSC) for “More plush on abrupt impacts and chunky trails“
