Adjusting both low-speed compression and low-speed rebound damping when turned“on” to suit the demands of off-road climbing, improving pedaling efficiency while reducing chassis movement, Available air volume reducers increase the rate of the shock’s progressiveness or“ramp” and can be installed without removing the shock from the frame, Damper adjustment controls can be rotated around the shock body to maximize rider access, Each of the four external adjusters independently controls of each phase of damping: low speed and high speed compression as well as low speed and high speed rebound, Twin-Tube design circulates oil continuously through separate compression and rebound chambers controlled by externally adjustable shock valves rather than pumping oil back and forth across an internal damping piston, Double Barrel Inline brings a high-oil-volume design to a non-reservoir shock platform. Trail and All-Mountain use on mid-travel(120-150mm) bikes, Climb switch technology doubles the number of low-speed damping circuits. The Double Barrel Inline shock is primarily intended for aggressive XC. more items and specials Cane Creek Double Barrel InLine Rear Shock.

We’re also happy to report that this shock really does deliver all that it promises.Built on the Double Barrel legacy to become the first air-sprung rear shock featuring Twin Tube technology and 4-way independent adjustability combined. Having said that, you do get a couple of hundred quid’s worth of titanium coil with this Double Barrel model, which starts to make it look much better value. So, that’s why it can take up to eight weeks to get hold of the Double Barrel, and why the price is double that of its competitors. That’s because each unit is bespoke – handbuilt in the US specifically for your own bike’s suspension linkage, your weight and riding style. Picking up the Double Barrel, you immediately notice its handcrafted quality. You really can set the Double Barrel up to take whatever you can find to throw at it Technical details Over drops and travel-eating bumps it was controlled and stable without feeling dull. Once you have it set up right, though, the Cane Creek will really blow you away with its performance. This involves taking along a 10mm socket to adjust the high-speed setting on the trail, and a screwdriver for the low-speed setting.
One thing to bear in mind with a rear shock of this calibre is that it takes time to find the optimum setup. It didn’t dive into corners, and just blitzed through braking bumps, which usually jack our rear wheels all over the place. It was as if a magnet was holding the back wheel there. On our first ride down the test track – a rocky, fast descent with high-speed corners – we were amazed at the way it stuck to the ground. That was surprising, because we had the low-speed compression set relatively soft to track well over small bumps – and it did exactly that. With the custom 350lb titanium coil, the shock performed flawlessly once we had fine-tuned the set up – which does require patience.įrom the off, the shock felt stable when pedalling and didn’t bob too much.
