Cane Creek Tigon Rear Shock
Best hybrid suspension for riders seeking coil sensitivity with air support
This rear suspension component bridges the gap between coil and air systems, offering the plush, ground-hugging sensitivity of a coil spring alongside the tunable support of an air spring. By utilizing a unique air-charged ramp tube, it provides progressive bottom-out resistance that traditional coil shocks often lack.
