New Cane Creek DBcoil [IL] Rear Shock & VALT Lightweight Springs

For years riders have had to sacrifice carrying the weight of a coil shock in order to get the performance and consistency they desired. The DBcoil [IL] is the first ever twin-tube inline shock that packs in all of the function of a piggyback coil shock in a lighter (*333 g difference) and sleeker package. Equipped with a VALT®* lightweight spring, Climb Switch technology, 4-way adjustability and unparalleled Double Barrel performance, the DBcoil [IL] dominates aggressive descents with superior small bump compliance, heat dissipation and linear spring action. * (216×63) DBCOIL [IL] with VALT® as compared to a DBCoil CS with a standard spring.

Cane Creek's VALT spring: better materials, lower weights

Lighten Up

The performance of your shock is directly related to the quality of your spring. VALT® is a lightweight coil spring that offers a significant weight reduction over standard steel springs. Designed to be as light as possible without sacrificing action or durability, the high quality steel in VALT® allows for less material to be used in the coils. Riders can enjoy the performance benefit and consistency without the weight penalty.. The large inner diameter of the VALT® means it will fit Cane Creek shocks and most other shock options on the market.
