Cane Creek (USA) – Cane Creek Cycling Components is very proud to introduce the newest product to the Double Barrel family, the DBAIR [IL]. Three years in the making, the DBAIR [IL] is the next evolution of the most advanced inline shock. Launched in 2014, the Cane Creek DBINLINE was a leap forward in mountain bike suspension technology that was revered as a game changer to the industry.

However, Cane Creek acknowledged the need for a big jump in reliability. With the development of the DBAIR [IL], Cane Creek have brought forth great advancements in their design and manufacturing processes, all in an effort to make their shocks more robust compared to the previous generation of in-line Double Barrel technology. These successful advancements that were used to create the DBAIR [IL] have also been employed into the new 2017 DBINLINE and DBCOIL [IL] shocks, ensuring increased reliability across the entire in-line Double Barrel shock family. For detailed descriptions of these advancements and added features please refer to the DBAIR [IL] product profile below. DBAIR [IL] is available for purchase and shipment now.

For DBINLINE owners, Cane Creek and its service centers are providing the new internal parts during every rebuild at no cost; that's new air piston and new oil seal head, for both warranty or paid service. Also, riders can upgrade their DBINLINE to the new DBAIR [IL] while it is in for service or warranty at Cane Creek. Under warranty, a DBINLINE can be upgraded to a DBAIR [IL] for $65 USD.
