Cane Creek DBAir IL Volume Reduction Spacer Kit

Adding a volume spacer reduces the air volume inside your shock, which makes the air spring curve more progressive. In practical terms, this means the shock will feel more supportive in the mid-stroke and significantly harder to bottom out on big hits or harsh landings.

You should consider these if you find yourself bottoming out your shock frequently, even when running the correct sag, or if the bike feels too 'mushy' or wallowy through corners and jumps. If you are already running high air pressure to prevent bottom-outs but losing small-bump sensitivity, spacers are the right solution.

The spacers are designed with specific segments that can be trimmed with a sharp blade or heavy-duty scissors. This allows you to experiment with smaller volume increments rather than committing to a full-sized spacer, helping you dial in the exact level of progression you prefer.

No, this specific kit is engineered for Cane Creek DBAir IL shocks. Using these spacers in a shock from another manufacturer may not fit correctly and could potentially damage the internal seals or air can.

You will need basic tools to remove the air can from your shock, such as a strap wrench or a shock vice, along with fresh suspension grease. It is a straightforward process, but you must ensure the shock is completely depressurized before attempting to open the air can.
