A powerful shock that’s light and supportive enough for crushing climbs, with the damping performance of much heavier, piggyback shocks for ripping fast descents. Designed for the rider who values going up as much as going down and proves that your bike’s capability cannot be measured in wheel travel.
Air IL offers better damping and smoother suspension performance than other shocks in its class.
Powered by DB Twin Tube technology, IL gives a super wide range of 4-way damping adjustability and uses 30% more oil volume in the damper compared to other inline shocks. Stock-level suspension makes all kinds of concessions to suit the larger market, and when the amount of rear travel is already minimal, IL is perhaps the most noticeable upgrade you can make to your bike’s performance.
Highlights
Hand-assembled and individually dyno-tested in our Western North Carolina facility, IL shocks continue to provide a level of quality, performance, and rider benefit that is unmatched.

Verified OwnerThrew this shock on an ibis ripley V4. Absolutely transformed the bike. Loads of mid-stroke support but with excellent small bump sensitivity. The rear end has way more traction than with the stock suspension. The small weight penalty is absolutely worth it for the performance improvement.

Verified OwnerMuch better than the Rockshox Sidluxe that came on my Transition Spur! This one is holding up well so far, the Sidluxe leaked oil and air and was pretty useless after not long at all. Little tricky to tune and setup, but love that you can tune the high and low speed compression and rebound. Doesn't work with a shockwiz though due to the nature of the dual air chambers. Feels great riding though, even though my tuning/setup could probably be better!

Huge upgrade
Once installed the shock is great. Lots of custom settings and I’d huge upgrade over sidluxxe
4 way tuning with option for adding air spacers, how can you go wrong. If you are looking for the best option for self tuning all aspects of your rear end then this is for you.
