    Game changer!

    I have been running a CC DBIL for last several years and was time for upgrade. Decided on the Kitsuma Air and have ridden it several times now on smooth flows to technical rock and technical DH trails. Absolutely LOVE IT! Better climb switch lock out so I feel like I sit higher while climbing, on the go tool less adjust has been nice, and the overall feel has more depth but have yet to bottom out. It also looks bad*#s😎🤘

    This is probably the only shock I've ridden that is equivalent or perhaps better than an X2 or ttx2. I'm amazed at how low pressure I run to achieve sag. The dials work fine and I'm warming up to them vs a tooled adjustment. I did feel like the climb setting was a bit too firm for my liking but the damping is so consistent that there's no need for it. I will see if they can make the climb setting softer when I'm due for service. This shock is probably the most consistent feeling air shock I've ridden. It is truly a remarkable product and anyone that likes a higher volume air shock will realize it is one of the best.

Kitsuma is our most gravity-focused shock that's primarily designed for going down hill FAST. It has the most oil volume in the damper giving it crazy control and power to stand up to the longest, fastest, and roughest of descents. It hugs the ground, giving you maximum grip and the most planted feel of any of our shocks.

  • Max downhill performance in an air shock format.
  • 4-way damping adjustment, entirely tunable by hand, makes dialing in your damper settings faster and easier. No tools - no counting clicks.
  • High-volume air can offers incredible sensitivity and plushness while offering tunable progression.
  • For long travel Enduro and DH bikes that prioritize descending.

Extra Confidence at Speed

Composed on rough, chunky trails

Consistent and predictable

Mutes big hits and impacts

Comes alive when going fast

Predictable when taking off or landing jumps/drops 

Insane grip – sticks to the ground

Easy to tune

"Kitsuma makes my bike feel like a downhill bike"

-Olivier G., Real Kitsuma rider

SETUP MADE EASY


Tired of getting bucked over the bars, or feeling your rear wheel skitter and break traction when the trail gets rough? Getting the best out of any shock requires a decent amount of tuning, and the second generation Kitsuma makes that tuning easier and more immediate with the aid of updated dials on all 4 damper adjustments. Each dial now offers a large range of adjustment contained in a single 360* turn with marks that denote each position of the adjuster. Reading your shock settings is now as easy as reading the hands on a clock.  

No hunting for tools, and no ‘counting clicks’ to see where you are.

Less time tuning – more time riding.

CLIMB SWITCH

OPEN, CLIMB, LOCK

Our patented Climb Switch technology controls both compression and rebound movement at the same time, effectively eliminating pedal bob. It shores up the shock from both “ends”, instead of just one – but still leaves just enough freedom for the shock to move over significant bumps in the trail. This means that you’ll feel supported and efficient, while still having access to crucial traction when you need it.  


The Kitsuma Climb Switch has an additional position that locks out the shock entirely for long, self-shuttled climbing days or paved rides to the trail head. It’s the best-pedaling gravity shock out there.
