Kitsuma is a strong, gravity-first shock that allows you to go faster thanks to a more personalized tune. With the increased ground-tracking sensitivity of a coil spring and the most damper oil of our entire shock family, it offers amazing downhill performance and maximum possible grip.

Kitsuma’s defining feature is its tool-free, 4-way damper controls. Easily adjusted by hand and offering a visual indication of your settings, Kitsuma encourages you to develop your own custom, pro-level tune – all in the name of supporting you getting down the hill faster and with more control than before.

Kitsuma favors descending but it’s not afraid to climb, with a rock-solid firm setting, it’s a gravity-first shock that wants to be pedaled to the top of the mountain for another run down.

Highlights:

Tool-free, 4 way adjustment
3 position Climb Switch: Descend, Climb, Firm
Coil spring gives greater sensitivity and smoother, ground-hugging feel
Larger diameter damper shaft, more bushing overlap, and redesigned oil seal head for greater durability
Progressive bottom out bumper for greater end-stroke support
