Cane Creek redesign the DB Air IL and DB Coil IL shocks w/ narrower profile to fit more trail bikes while maintaining twin-tube damper body
Cane Creek has redesigned its DB Air IL and DB Coil IL Shocks to improve compatibility with a wider range of trail bikes. Thicker damper tubes combined with slimmer valve bodies are said to increase overall strength while allowing for more clearance on tightly-packaged frames such as those from Specialized, Orbea and Salsa.
The new Cane Creek DB Air IL and DB Coil IL Shocks are aimed squarely at the trail bike category; bikes running around 120-150mm of rear wheel travel.
Cane Creek Twin-Tube Dampers offer 4-way independent adjustment of high-speed compression and rebound, and low-speed compression and rebound, would be the one to go for if 1. it was for a longer travel bike and/or 2. you needed even more consistent damping performance for extra long descents, such as those you’d find in the Alps and the like. Its architecture houses an even greater volume of oil, and is better suited to riding conditions where heat management is a top priority.
The major update for the Cane Creek DB Air IL and DB Coil IL Shocks released today is the much narrower valve body; on the DB Air IL, that is now just 50.5mm wide versus the 68mm valve body of the previous generation. The air can gets narrower, too – now 51mm as compared to the predecessor’s 57mm. The air can also gets longer, though, so actual air volume remains relatively unchanged.
Bikes that are now compatible with the Cane Creek DB Air IL Shock thanks to its narrower architecture include the
