Description

DBcoil IL is the lightest weight coil shock on the market while using 40-50% more damper oil compared to other shocks in its class. The DBcoil IL is the first ever twin-tube inline shock that packs in all of the function of a piggyback coil shock in a lighter and sleeker package.

Oil circulates continuously through externally adjustable shock valves. Twin-tube shocks have two main chambers, a compression chamber, and a rebound chamber, separated by adjustable valves. The main damping piston forces damping oil between the compression and rebound chambers via the externally adjustable damping valves. On the trail, this routing of oil translates into less fade, more control, and greater consistency.

Climb Switch: Four-way adjustability becomes even more accessible with the new integrated tool nested in our CS (Climb Switch) lever.

When engaged, the low-speed damping is changed via a set of internal "climbing circuits." Cane Creek tune these circuits specifically for the demands of off-road climbing to achieve improved pedal efficiency with less chassis motion. Unlike other climbing platforms, our CS feature adjusts both low-speed compression and rebound.

Four-Way Independent Adjustment: The DBcoil IL offers an unparalleled range of adjustability through external adjusters that independently control each phase of damping without crossover effects. High and low-speed compression and high and low-speed rebound are independently adjusted.

Other inline shocks typically provide the user with a single rebound adjustment or rebound combined with limited pre-set low-speed compression. The easy tunability of DBcoil IL means a rider can make a quick trail-side change, increasing pop, plushness, or other features for personalised fine-tuning.

Linear + Progressive VALT Springs: The performance of your coil shock is directly related to the quality of your spring. VALT springs offer a significant weight reduction over standard steel springs.

Progressive-Rate VALT springs maintain the sensitivity and "set it and forget it" mentality of a traditional coil set up, but with the progressiveness and ramp up that hard-charging riders demand. Progression begins at 50% into the stroke of the spring.

Double Barrel Twin Tube Technology: Exclusive Twin Tube Technology circulates oil continuously through the damping valving to achieve highly controllable, independent damping for both compression and rebound strokes. This unique design moves oil through externally adjustable valving instead of the main piston, allowing for superior tunability and eliminating the need for internal valving changes to achieve proper shock setup.

Who is this for: This shock is for gravity focused riders looking for maximum performance and grip, and also need to control bobbing to improve efficiency on the climbs. Also for those who don't mind playing around with a wide range of settings that allow them to dial in their bike's handling to suit the terrain they ride.

    Once you go coil you’ll never go back

    This shock has transformed my ride. So sensitive on the small bumps and big hits are super smooth. Haven’t dialled it in fully yet, and might make a few small adjustments after more rides, but it has made a massive difference already. Mtb direct was very helpful with some pre purchase advice on mounting hardware and spring weight.

    A Great option

    This shock is smooth, very good small bump sensitivity while also handling big hits. It has lots of adjustments to suit your riding style. This shock looks nice and performs very well. Love it.

    Good while it worked.

    Was good while it worked (which was until my first mtb ride). MTB direct helped get it fixed easily.

    Awesome shock

    awesome shock. installed on giant reign. way better small bump sensitivity and mid stroke support than my old air shock. added a few turns of HSC and it resists bottoming well. overall much better control.
