Kitsuma is a strong, gravity-first shock that allows you to go faster thanks to a more personalized tune. With a high-volume air spring and the most damper oil of our entire shock family, it offers amazing downhill performance, while still giving you the easy setup and tunable support of an air shock.

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
  • Our largest volume air shock for incredible grip with the greatest tunability
  • Larger diameter damper shaft, more bushing overlap, and redesigned oil seal head for greater durability

    Worthy upgrade

    The Kitsuma air was a worthy upgrade on my Transition Sentinel. You can really dial it in to increase traction while retaining the poppy, playful nature of the bike. It takes a lot of time though since it's kinda hard to keep track of your settings (changed on the new version with better indexing).

    The progressive support is top notch. This shock added so much small bump compliance will still maintainting a lively, yet stable feel to the entire bike's suspension.

UNDERSTAND YOUR SUSPENSION


With oversized dials that are easy to adjust by hand, we’ve taken the hesitation away from experimenting with your shock settings. On-trail adjustments are now more intuitive and easier to visualize so you can get back to ripping and spend less time counting ‘clicks.’

High-speed Compression – For the big hits 

Low-speed Compression – For pedal platform

High-speed Rebound – For stability

Low-speed Rebound – For sensitivity

"The Kitsuma does a great job of muting bigger hits, especially on high speed, chunky terrain, and it offers a wide array of effective adjustments that are easy to access. For constant tinkerers, having all of those potential settings at their fingertips is going to be a big plus."
