Cane Creek Cycling Components' newest addition to the Double Barrel family is the DBAir [IL] rear shock. The Cane Creek DBInline shock range debuted in 2014 and with this new version Cane Creek acknowledged the need for a big jump in reliability. 

With the development of the DB Air [IL], Cane Creek advanced its design and manufacturing processes, all in an effort to make the shocks more robust compared to the previous generation of in-line Double Barrel technology. These advancements, used to create the DB AIR [IL], have also been employed for the new 2017 DBInline and DB Coil [IL] shocks, ensuring increased reliability across the entire in-line Double Barrel shock family. The $475 (UK and Australian pricing TBD) DBAir [IL] is available for purchase and shipment now.

The DBAir [IL] is the first shock to feature Cane Creek’s LinEair Spring, creating an air shock that feels more supple, linear and seamlessly supportive throughout its travel. The goal is greater performance and reliability to unleash the full potential of trail and enduro bikes with 100–160mm of travel.

Enhanced reliability

Oil seal head redesign

Made of an advanced material, it is more durable and smoother than standard seals too

For consistent performance, the DBAir [IL] features a completely redesigned oil seal head. In air shocks, this critical component separates the damping oil from the air spring. The continual compression and rebound damping action, along with seal friction on long descents, generates a large amount of heat, which is then insulated by the air spring.
