Setting the DBair IL apart from other inline shocks, oil circulates continuously through externally adjustable shock valves. Twin-tube shocks have two main chambers, a compression chamber, and a rebound chamber, separated by the adjustable valves. The main damping piston forces damping oil between the compression and rebound chambers via the externally adjustable damping valves.

Compared to other shocks in its class, Cane Creek inline shocks use significantly more oil in the damper; 40-50% more oil. On the trail, this routing of oil translates into less fade, more control, and greater consistency.

Four-Way Independent Adjustment

The DBair 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 independtly 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 DBair IL means a rider can make a quick trail-side change, increasing pop, plushness, or other features for personalized fine-tuning.

Climb Switch

New 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 via 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.

    Took a while to experiment with different settings but found my way back to almost base tune settings. Tried a handful of different air shocks and none can replicate the feel of the inline. Recommended.

Q & A

Do you have to service demper more than a normaal air demper? Mateusz asked on September 20, 2023

We recommend all of our shocks and forks be serviced by a professional every 100 hours of use, or at least once a year.

Really happy with this shock, works at least as well as the Fox X2 and haven’t had any reliability issues or getting sticky like the X2 always does. Lighter and more compact is a nice bonus

5/5

Really nice shock, easy setup and installation. I’m running on an older specialized enduro, definitely an upgrade from the standard shock. As advised by customer service for my bike (older specialized enduro), I used a volume spacer, good travel and no bottoming out.

Only downside, now I’m dreaming about a new fork :)

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.
