*All sales are final for DB Air & Coil IL.
DBcoil IL is the lightest weight coil shock on the market, while using 40-50% more damper oil compared to other shocks in its class. The DBcoil IL is the first ever twin-tube inline shock that packs in all of the function of a piggyback coil shock in a lighter and sleeker package.
All shocks are built to order by hand in our facility in North Carolina, USA.

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

Verified OwnerGot this (old) version on sale after the new version came out, and have been very impressed with the performance. Great shock - feels sensitive/supple but also supportive and poppy when I need it. Nice work Cane Creek.

By far the best shock I've ever ridden. It handles the steep and knarly as well as the smooth and buttery. I ride in the BC interior on DH and XC trails including the parks. This shock has never let me down. It's durable, tunable and the performance both up an down are amazing. It's been on my Trance sx for 2.5 years and I'm looking to install a Cane creek full setup on my new rig.
Verified OwnerReplaced my worn out air shock with this coil rather than waiting a couple weeks with no bike for repair. The shock and spring added less than the weight of a banana. The factory tune feels perfect unfortunately shock wiz can’t verify as it only works with air springs.
