Cane Creek Kitsuma Air - Standard
Product Description
KITSUMA Air
Kitsuma turns your bike into a downhill bike. It hugs the ground on the roughest and steepest trails. It gives you maximum grip, a planted feel, and allows you to go faster thanks to a more personalized tune. It’s the only 4-way adjustable shock that’s tunable by hand – making it easier to move through the setup process and get back to ripping down the trail faster than before.
This second generation Kitsuma shock has updates that make it easier to tune and more reliable than ever.
SETUP MADE EASY
Tired of getting bucked over the bars, or feeling your rear wheel skitter and break traction when the trail gets rough? Getting the best out of any shock requires a decent amount of tuning, and the second generation Kitsuma makes that tuning easier and more immediate with the aid of updated dials on all 4 damper adjustments. Each dial now offers a large range of adjustment contained in a single 360* turn with marks that denote each position of the adjuster. Reading your shock settings is now as easy as reading the hands on a clock.
No hunting for tools, and no ‘counting clicks’ to see where you are.
Less time tuning – more time riding.
CLIMB SWITCH
OPEN, CLIMB, LOCK
Our patented Climb Switch technology controls both compression and rebound movement at the same time, effectively eliminating pedal bob. It shores up the shock from both “ends”, instead of just one – but still leaves just enough freedom for the shock to move over significant bumps in the trail. This means that you’ll feel supported and efficient, while still having access to crucial traction when you need it.
The Kitsuma Climb Switch has an additional position that locks out the shock entirely for long, self-shuttled climbing days or paved rides to the trail head. It’s the best-pedaling gravity shock out there.
