Cane Creek DB Kitsuma Rear Shock

A trunnion mount attaches the shock directly to the frame via a bolt through the shock body rather than using a traditional eyelet and bushing. You must ensure your bike frame is specifically designed for a trunnion-mount shock, as it is not interchangeable with standard eyelet-mount shocks.

The shock features external levers for compression and rebound damping that you can turn by hand. This allows you to make precise, on-the-fly adjustments to your suspension feel without needing to carry hex keys or specialized tools.

The three-position switch allows you to quickly toggle between open, pedal, and firm settings. This lets you firm up the suspension for efficient climbing on fire roads or smooth sections, then instantly open it back up for technical descents.

Yes, the DB Kitsuma Air is built on Cane Creek's 'Double Barrel' twin-tube damper technology, which is designed to handle the high heat and heavy demands of aggressive trail and enduro riding. It offers a high level of damping control that keeps the bike composed through rough, sustained terrain.

While the air spring requires standard maintenance like checking seals and air pressure, the twin-tube damper is more complex than a basic shock. It is recommended to follow Cane Creek's service intervals and have the damper serviced by a professional or authorized service center to maintain its performance.
