Cane Creek's lightest mountain bike rear shock, built for 100–140mm travel XC, trail and downcountry bikes that still want full damping adjustment.

Highlights

  • Twin-tube damper: independent high-speed and low-speed compression and rebound circuits
  • Climb Switch for a firmer pedalling platform
  • 165mm eye-to-eye, trunnion mount
  • Claimed weight around 385g (varies by stroke)
  • Hand-assembled in Fletcher, NC

Compatibility & fit

Trunnion mount only – the shock body bolts straight to the frame's lower shock tab rather than through an eyelet, so it only fits a frame designed for a trunnion-mount shock at this eye-to-eye length. Match the stroke to what your frame's linkage is designed around; the wrong stroke changes the bike's travel and can bind the linkage. The Tune workshop can confirm fit and set sag for a new shock.
