Cane Creek Kitsuma Air Reducer

By reducing the internal air volume of your shock, this part makes the spring curve more progressive. This means the shock will feel more supportive in the middle of its travel and become firmer toward the end, which helps prevent harsh bottom-outs on big hits.

This specific reducer is designed for the Kitsuma Air series. It is best to verify your specific shock model and year against the manufacturer's compatibility chart before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

You should consider adding a reducer if you find yourself frequently bottoming out your suspension on standard trail features, even after setting your sag correctly. It is also a great tuning option if you want more mid-stroke support for aggressive cornering or jumping.

Yes, it is designed for straightforward installation. You will need basic suspension service tools to access the air can, but it does not require a full shock rebuild.

Because this reducer primarily affects the end of the stroke, it has a minimal impact on the initial sensitivity of the shock. You should still enjoy the same plush feel at the beginning of the travel while gaining better control deeper in the stroke.
