Cane Creek DB TIGON Coil Spring Rear Shock - 185x55mm - Trunnion

TIGON - for creative and playful riding.

Cane Creek Tigon is an entirely new DB Twin Tube rear shock that combines the sensitivity of a coil spring shock with the tunable support of an air spring – to fuel your most creative and playful riding yet. 

From rock gardens to hard-packed jump lines.

Tigon combines the ground tracking sensitivity of a coil spring shock with the mid-stroke and bottom out support of an air shock. Cane Creek’s engineering team produced the world’s first DB Twin Tube shock that defies traditional shock categories. The air-charged RAMP Tube on Tigon allows riders to make quick, easy adjustments to increase liveliness, add support, or conversely, improve the plushness of their ride.

Want more support? just add air!

Using a basic shock pump, riders can now tune the support of their coil spring spring shock by adding pressure to the RAMP Tube. This added air chamber increases the progression of the shock and gives all the mid-stroke and bottom out support that you may want. RAMP Tube makes Tigon capable of providing 20-35% more progression than a typical coil spring shock. (30psi max)

Want more sensitivity? Tigon delivers.

The supreme sensitivity of coil spring is always present, providing the most active suspension possible – no matter the air pressure. If desired, riders can remove air from the RAMP Tube to turn Tigon into a more linear, traditional coil spring shock to amplify its ground-tracking ability. Encountering steep, technical, and slippery trails? Simply remove the air from the RAMP Tube for a shock setup that stays more planted to the ground.

Strength and reliability.

Tigon expands the usable market for coil spring shocks by providing a more resilient solution for classic and Trunnion mount frames. The bracing provided by RAMP Tube, paired with a damper shaft that is relocated to the middle of the shock, adds a significant amount of lateral strength.

Hand made in USA.

Like all Cane Creek suspension, Tigon was designed, developed and hand-built by riders 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 internal test lab and on some of North America’s most legendary trails.
