DB Kitsuma Air Trunnion – 185 x 55 – BCD0016

FASTER WITH THE TURN OF A DIAL - $779.99

$779.99

Kitsuma is a strong, gravity-first shock that allows you to go faster thanks to a more personalized tune. With a high-volume air spring and the most damper oil of our entire shock family, it offers amazing downhill performance, while still giving you the easy setup and tunable support of an air shock.

Kitsuma’s defining feature is its tool-free, 4-way damper controls. Easily adjusted by hand and offering a visual indication of your settings, Kitsuma encourages you to develop your own custom, pro-level tune – all in the name of supporting you getting down the hill faster and with more control than before.

Kitsuma favors descending but it’s not afraid to climb, with a rock-solid firm setting, it’s a gravity-first shock that wants to be pedaled to the top of the mountain for another run down.

Highlights:

Tool-free, 4 way adjustment
3 position Climb Switch: Descend, Climb, Firm
Our largest volume air shock for incredible grip with the greatest tunability
Larger diameter damper shaft, more bushing overlap, and redesigned oil seal head for greater durability

"The Kitsuma does a great job of muting bigger hits, especially on high speed, chunky terrain, and it offers a wide array of effective adjustments that are easy to access. For constant tinkerers, having all of those potential settings at their fingertips is going to be a big plus."
