THE AIR-CHARGED COIL SHOCK

THE AIR-CHARGED COIL SHOCK

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. 

FROM ROCK GARDENS TO HARD-PACKED JUMP LINES

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.

SENSITIVITY OR SUPPORT? CHOOSE BOTH.

RAMP TUBE
TECHNOLOGY

WANT MORE SUPPORT? JUST ADD AIR!

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)

WANT MORE SENSITIVITY? TIGON DELIVERS.

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.

STRENGTH AND RELIABILITY

BUILT TO LAST

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 a damper shaft that is relocated to the middle of the shock, adds a significant amount of lateral strength.

MADE BY RIDERS

DESIGNED - DEVELOPED - BUILT

Like all Cane Creek Suspension, Tigon was designed, developed and hand-built by riders here in Western North Carolina.

Informed by the endless climbs and technical descents of the Pisgah National Forest, this shock was developed completely in-house and rigorously tested in our internal test lab and on some of North America’s most legendary trails. #PisgahBorn

“…there’s no other shock on the market that can claim all of the Tigon's selling points. Most importantly, the Tigon is strong enough to withstand clevis shock mounts. Simply put, it's supple, strong, consistent, and resists bottoming.”

DOUBLE BARREL
TWIN TUBE TECHNOLOGY

Our legendary twin tube damper design moves much more oil through externally adjustable valving instead of forcing it through shims on the main piston. This circulating oil flow allows for superior tunability and eliminates the need for internal valving changes to achieve your optimal shock tune.
