Cane Creek DB Air CS


CANE CREEK INTRODUCED a new level of suspension adjustability with their twin-tube Double Barrel design, which allows several damping circuits to be tweaked independently of one another.

The original coil shock was followed by the DB Air, which was welcomed by aggressive trail riders – though some complained that they had to sacrifice climbing efficiency for traction and handling on the descents. In response, Cane Creek have delivered the ‘Climb Switch’ model. A flick of the lever adjusts both low-speed compression and low-speed rebound damping simultaneously, which helps to maintain traction and control on the climbs. Flick the switch off and the shock will still help you rocket downhill.

PRICE: 5200$

Formula CR3 brakes

The CR3 features a cartridge-type master, which improves power and modulation, plus it is super simple to service: The self-enclosed unit threads directly into the lever body. I took apart our test set and had it back together and bled in 10 minutes with no special tools. Like Formula’s RO brakes, the caliper pistons are actually oval, making more surface area–and thus, more power–than round pistons, but simpler than a four-piston system. The CR3 is best suited for aggressive trail riding.
