Cane Creek Tigon

The Tigon bridges the gap between coil and air by adding a secondary air spring to the traditional coil setup. This allows you to adjust the shock's progression and bottom-out resistance independently, something a standard coil shock cannot do on its own.

The air ramp tube lets you fine-tune the shock's progression by up to 35% without needing to swap out the coil spring. By adjusting the pressure between 0 and 30psi, you can make the end of the stroke feel more supportive or plush depending on your riding style and terrain.

Yes, the Tigon includes a two-position climb switch that firms up the suspension for efficient pedaling on ascents. While it is built for aggressive trail and enduro riding, this switch makes it versatile enough for all-day rides.

You will need a standard shock pump to adjust the pressure in the air ramp tube. The other adjustments, including high-speed compression, low-speed compression, and low-speed rebound, can be managed using standard tools or by hand.

The Tigon is currently available in a 230mm eye-to-eye length with a 65mm stroke. You must verify that these specific dimensions match your frame's requirements before purchasing, as rear shocks are not universal.

While the 3-way independent adjustment offers a lot of control, it does require some patience to dial in correctly. If you are comfortable adjusting compression and rebound, you will appreciate the tuning range, but it may be overkill if you prefer a 'set it and forget it' suspension setup.
