$525.99 $315.40



DBcoil IL is the lightest weight coil shock on the market, while using 40-50% more damper oil compared to other shocks in its class. 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 and sleeker package.

All shocks are built to order by hand in our facility in North Carolina, USA.

For estimated build times see below:

  • Standard DBCoil IL shocks will ship within 5-10 business days

Cane Creek Coil IL

CLIMB SWITCH

New Integrated Tool

Four-way adjustability becomes even more accessible with the new integrated tool nested in our CS (Climb Switch) lever.

When engaged, the low-speed damping is changed via a set of internal “climbing circuits.” We tune these circuits specifically for the demands of off-road climbing to achieve improved pedal efficiency with less chassis motion. Unlike other climbing platforms, our CS feature adjusts both low-speed compression and rebound. 

Four-Way Independent Adjustment

The DBcoil IL offers an unparalleled range of adjustability through external adjusters that independently control each phase of damping without crossover effects. High and low speed compression, and high and low speed rebound are independently adjusted.

Other inline shocks typically provide the user with a single rebound adjustment or rebound combined with limited pre-set low-speed compression. The easy tunability of DBcoil IL means a rider can make a quick trail-side change, increasing pop, plushness, or other features for personalized fine-tuning.

By far the best shock I've ever ridden. It handles the steep and knarly as well as the smooth and buttery. I ride in the BC interior on DH and XC trails including the parks. This shock has never let me down. It's durable, tunable and the performance both up an down are amazing. It's been on my Trance sx for 2.5 years and I'm looking to install a Cane creek full setup on my new rig.

Would this shock (DBCoil IL G1) fit on a 2020 Norco Sight A1? I've got the length and stroke right (185mm x 52.5mm), just wondering if there are any known issues with that frame or suspension layout. Thanks! Mitch Boeckman asked on April 17, 2024

Hello, I'm looking for a shock that would fit my 2019 Scott genius 950, there's not a lot of clearance for a piggy back, was wondering if the DB Coil IL Trunnion G1 – 185 x 52.5mm – BAD2548 will be a good fit, thanks in advance. Saul Quezada asked on December 1, 2023

Unfortunately, the clearance between the seat tube and shock is too minimal to accept any of our shocks. They contact the frame and could cause an issue. Better luck next time!

Got this (old) version on sale after the new version came out, and have been very impressed with the performance. Great shock - feels sensitive/supple but also supportive and poppy when I need it. Nice work Cane Creek.

Replaced my worn out air shock with this coil rather than waiting a couple weeks with no bike for repair. The shock and spring added less than the weight of a banana. The factory tune feels perfect unfortunately shock wiz can’t verify as it only works with air springs.
