Overview
Kitsuma Coil is Cane Creek's gravity coil shock for 150 mm+ enduro and DH bikes, with 4-way twin-tube damping and approx. 417 g without spring; USD 649.99 in the US store.
Kitsuma Coil is Cane Creek's most downhill-oriented shock, designed for long-travel enduro and DH bikes with 150 mm or more rear travel. Like the air version it has the highest damper oil volume in the Cane Creek line, for control and consistency on long, rough and fast descents.
Four-way twin-tube damping (high/low-speed compression and rebound) is adjustable entirely by hand, and the coil spring provides the best heat management, sensitivity and planted feel. It works with Cane Creek VALT springs and comes in black or limited silver.
