The "DB Air" bumpers are known for their sensitive response. What it lacked, however, was the option to harden it for climbs and sprints. Similar to products from other suspension manufacturers, this will be possible with the "Climb Switch" mode. The difference is that the oil flow is not only slowed down during compression, but also during rebound. This also minimizes the annoying bobbing.

Optically, little changes with the "DB AIR". Only a small black lever on the transition piece to the expansion tank indicates the "CS" function. This lever has the positions "ON" and "OFF". In the "OFF" position, the "DB Air" behaves as usual. All four rebound and compression settings remain available and can be adjusted individually. In the "ON" position, the low-speed rebound and compression damping are greatly increased, which rides the compression and rebound of the shock absorber. This minimizes drive influences, but does not lock the shock absorber. This means that the "DB Air" remains sensitive to slow bumps even with the "Climb Switch" activated.

Cane Creek's "Double Barrel Air CS" will be shipped from the factory in Fletcher/USA from August 1st. The Swiss Cane Creek importer TST Trading GmbH will have a limited number of these new shocks available. The Swiss service center Akira-Tuning will be able to handle service and warranty cases on the new "Double Barrel AIR CS" shocks right from the market launch.
