Highlights:

  • Four-way independent adjustment
  • Climb Switch & integrated tool
  • A thicker inner damper tube for increased strength
  • 210 grams (without spring)
  • A 17mm reduction in overall width on the valve body to increase fitment possibilities on tight frames

If you are in Canada, beware the shipping. They use DHL and I was charged 50% of my total order value as “duty fees” on arrival. Other than that, the shock works good. Factory tune is really good as well. Even though it’s not a downhill recommended shock, I did take it for a park day just to see. The oil definitely gets the shock warm to the touch, but not hot enough to hinder performance and dampening. My only complaint is that dirt and dust somehow gets into the coil seat and makes a really loud squeak, haven’t figured out a solution aside from taking the coil off and cleaning it after long rides. The progressive coil feels very supportive on big hits.

Q & A

Does this shock fit with Rocky Mountain instinct bearing mounts? Ryne asked on September 10, 2023

Yes. The DBCoil IL Next Gen will fit the Rocky Mountain Instinct. You'll need to choose the correct shock size depending on which model year you have. Rocky Mtn uses their own shock mounting hardware for the rear eyelet and they can provide the correct forward eyelet hardware size, depending on which model year you have. You can order the shock, and the forward shock mount hardware from us once you confirm the correct size...

What hardware kit would be needed for a Coil IL for install on a Gen 6 Trek Fuel EX Peter asked on August 21, 2023

The Gen 6 Fuel EX uses a 185x55 trunnion mount shock so only the lower hardware kit is required. I could not find this online but your local Trek dealer should have this information.

You can also measure inside the shock mounts on the frame, in millimeters, for the hardware axle length, and the measure the shock bolt size (6mm, 8mm, or 10mm) and this will give you the hardware size. for example... 30mm x 8mm

Coil shock recommendation for a 2020 Scott Genius alu frame? Alex asked on August 16, 2023

Unfortunately, we do not fit the 2020 Scott Genius. The shock mounts on the frame place the shock very close to the frame and there is not enough room to fit our shock.

Is there an upgrade option for my 2019 Scott Gambler 730? Nathan Mills asked on August 5, 2023

Your 2019 Gambler used a shock size of 240mm x 76mm. This size is no longer produced but we did make shocks in this size. If you can find an older model DBCoil in the 240/76 sizing, that would work on the Gambler.

Can the new IL Coil be fit to the Evil Following V1? I know the stock size isn't listed 184x42 but maybe one of the sizes can be fit with travel spacers or offset bushing? Let me know thanks. Matt asked on July 31, 2023

184mm xx42mm is an older imperial size that we no longer offer. Its very important that you match the correct shock length to your bike to avoid any issues in performance or damage to your bike.

Product Details

Four-Way Independent Adjustment

Built with Cane Creek DB Twin-Tube Technology, the all new 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 Coil 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 Coil 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.

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. Find out more about our springs HERE.

Structural Durability – Assembled by Hand

Cane Creek’s engineers have upgraded the all new Coil 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.

Best part of being a part of the Cane Creek family:  It’s very refreshing to work for a small, tight-knit company where we all share the same passions and to develop new products that make cycling better for everyone.
What you’ll find me doing on the weekends: Obviously riding bikes, but also wrenching on bikes or cars, exploring the mountains, and watching F1 races.
How I got here (at Cane Creek): Feeling pretty unfulfilled with a corporate engineering job, I happened to see that Cane Creek was hiring. I jumped at the opportunity to get my hands dirty working on the latest bike tech and was fortunate enough to be offered the position.
