Tigon is an entirely new DB Twin Tube shock that combines the sensitivity of a coil shock with the tunable support of an air spring – to fuel your most creative and playful riding yet.
Tigon tracks the ground and grips like a coil shock, but thanks to our new patent-pending RAMP Tube Technology it also offers the mid-stroke and bottom out support that is often required from an air shock. Both of these benefits are now delivered in an entirely new layout that better withstands side-loading and buckling forces that can harm traditional coil shocks.
Want sensitivity and grip? Tigon delivers.
Want more support? Just add air!
Tigon’s RAMP Tube is a small air spring that works in conjunction with its main coil spring to control the shock’s progression. With this added feature, a rider will still rely on the main coil to support their body weight while setting sag – but can easily add up to 35% progression relative to a traditional coil shock. These adjustments are made using a basic shock pump.

RAMP Tube offers tunable progression using basic shock pump
Coil sprung shocks are noticeably smoother on rough trails
than traditional coil shocks. Resists bottoming
Internal negative coil spring and low air pressures give Tigon the least breakaway force of our entire shock line
due to larger diameter damper shaft and bracing provided by RAMP Tube
damper gives maximum tunability and consistent performance

Tigon combines the ground tracking sensitivity of a coil shock with the mid-stroke and bottom out support of an air shock. Cane Creek’s Engineering team produced the world’s first DB Twin Tube shock that defies traditional shock categories.
The air-charged RAMP Tube on Tigon allows riders to make quick, easy adjustments to increase liveliness, add support, or conversely, improve the plushness of their ride.

Using a basic shock pump, riders can now tune the support of their coil shock by adding pressure to the RAMP Tube. This added air chamber increases the progression of the shock and gives all the mid-stroke and bottom out support that you may want. RAMP Tube makes Tigon capable of providing 20-35% more progression than a typical coil shock. (30psi max)

The supreme sensitivity of coil is always present, providing the most active suspension possible – no matter the air pressure. If desired, riders can remove air from the RAMP Tube to turn Tigon into a more linear, traditional coil shock to amplify its ground-tracking ability. Encountering steep, technical, and slippery trails? Simply remove the air from the RAMP Tube for a shock setup that stays more planted to the ground.

Tigon expands the usable market for coil by providing a more resilient solution for clevis and trunnion mount frames.
The bracing provided by RAMP Tube, paired with an oversized damper shaft relocated to the middle of the shock, adds a significant amount of lateral strength.

After having run many double barrel shocks in the past, I was excited to hear about the Tigon. I had gotten a Trek Top Fuel and was not happy with the stock shock and regressive tune that it came with. After talking with the team at Cane Creek I chose to give this shock a try, it has made the bike night and day difference from where I started. The ramp tube is awesome to use on this short travel frame and would recommend it for anyone looking to build up a short travel do it all bike.
Verified OwnerNight and day improvement for a Turbo Levo Alloy. Much better grip and cornering and smooths the small bumps.

Un-freaking-believable! I purchased this for a 2024 Trek Fuel Ex 9.8. I found the stock shock harsh on small bumps and chatter.
I expected some trade offs moving to the Tigon. I’m happily disappointed in that expectation. I have not encountered a situation where the Tigon has not out performed the stock shock. Climbing? Loads of traction and support. Jumping? Controlled pop for days! Descending? No surprise here…buttery smooth. Pumping? This thing should work at a gas station.
Add face melting customer service from Andy to this legendary shock performance and I’ll be happily riding Cane Creek suspension for years to come!
