Unfortunately none of our shocks fit the Izzo. They designed the rocker link to have a very tight tolerance and many shocks will not fit this design.
We have not been able to confirm shock fit with the Heckler MX. Many Santa Cruz bikes have a narrow shock tunnel that only allows for smaller shocks. If any of our shocks fit it would be either DBCoil IL or Kitsuma Coil since the coil springs are more narrow than our Air can. You will want to verify this with Santa Cruz before using an aftermarket shock...
Yes it will fit the Ripmo V2. You need part number BAD2070 - DBAir IL Next Gen 210x55
It depends on which Fox shock you are comparing this to but the only Fox shock that comes close to offering the same performance, damping adjustment range, twin tube damper, etc is the X2, and the X2 does not have our patented CS lever, and it's a much larger, heavier shock.
We also build every shock, by hand to order here in NC so give us a call or email support@canecreek.com and we'd love to help
Your 2018 Mach 4 uses a 184x44 shock size which we no longer make. However we did make this size in the previous gen DBIL if you can find one in the aftermarket.
Unfortunately we do not offer the 184mm x 44mm shock size in the Next Gen IL shocks. You may be able to find this size in the previous generation DBAir IL or DBInline, used or in the aftermarket.

Verified OwnerHad a few rides, but very satisfied! Air IL seems as good as Öhlins TTX Air (Air IL is a touch better IMO). But the ability to tune it precisely to work in the perfect balance with the Formula Selva is amazing benefit! I hope it will handle the clavis mount. The best thing is — it is so small, but the performance is among the best.
The only complaint is that when you set it up, the CS lever gets in the way and you easily forget to open the CS lever after you made some changes. It’s a minor thing, but a bit annoying. Maybe in future it would be nice to change the shape of the lever a bit.

Verified OwnerFour-Way Independent Adjustment
Built with Cane Creek DB Twin-Tube Technology, the next generation of IL shocks have the widest range of damping adjustability on the market – designed to bring a new level of control to XC and Trail Bikes. The Air IL provides riders with accessible external adjusters that control the shocks’ High and Low Speed Compression and High and Low Speed Rebound.
The DB Twin-Tube four-way control of the Air IL allows riders to make quick trail-side adjustments to increase pop, improve plushness or add support to their ride.
Climb Switch & Integrated Tool
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 with a set of internal “climbing circuits.” We 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.
New Air Spring + Compact Design
The redesigned Air Spring on the Cane Creek Air IL was developed to enhance the overall ride characteristics while reducing the physical size of the shock. The new compact design and increased MAX to 350psi results in an air spring that fits more bikes and more riders.
Structural Durability – Assembled by Hand
Cane Creek’s engineers have upgraded the all new Air IL with thicker inner damper tubes for increased strength and resilience from forces that the shock has to withstand while being ridden hard. To ensure maximum quality control and performance each and every Cane Creek rear shock is hand assembled and individually dyno tested in our Western North Carolina facility.
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.
