Tigon is an air-charged coil shock that combines the sensitivity of a coil spring with the ramping support of an air spring. It’s for bold and creative riders looking to stretch the boundaries of what’s possible on their trail or enduro bike.
Tigon tracks the ground with the smooth and planted ride of a coil, but offers the tunable mid-stroke and bottom out support that no other coil shock can. It’s the best qualities of both shock types, together in a layout that is stronger and more resilient than a traditional coil shock.

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

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!
