Kitsuma is a strong, gravity-first shock that allows you to go faster thanks to a more personalized tune.
With a high-volume air spring and the most damper oil of our shock family, it offers amazing downhill performance, while still giving you the tunable support and progression of an air shock.
With oversized dials that are easy to adjust by hand, we’ve taken the hesitation away from experimenting with your shock settings. On-trail adjustments are now more intuitive and easier to visualize so you can get back to ripping and spend less time counting ‘clicks.’
High-speed Compression – For the big hits
Low-speed Compression – For pedal platform
High-speed Rebound – For stability
Low-speed Rebound – For sensitivity

Like all Cane Creek Suspension, Kitsuma was designed, developed and hand-built by riders here in Western North Carolina. Informed by the endless climbs and technical descents of the Pisgah National Forest, this shock was developed completely in-house and rigorously tested in our internal test lab and on some of North America’s most legendary trails.

Our legendary twin tube damper design moves much more oil through externally adjustable valving instead of forcing it through shims on the main piston. This circulating oil flow allows for superior tunability and eliminates the need for internal valving changes to achieve your optimal shock tune.
More Oil – More Adjustment – Max Control
