The all-new Reverb gives you infinite seat-height adjustment and control of your return speed in a hydraulically actuated remote package. A custom sealing system means the plush and consistent feel of this seat post won’t degrade, no matter how much the weather does.

The Cane Creek Double Barrel is one of those few components that causes a genuine stir in the mountain bike world. It’s quietly come onto the scene and blown everything else out of the water. No crazy graphics or showy dials, it quietly gets on with annihilating the trail and every other shock you’ve ever ridden.

The key to the success of the Double Barrel shock is Öhlins’ Twin Tube technology. This system pumps oil through a continuous circuit allowing full control of both rebound and compression movements. Circulating the oil through the valving instead of the main piston allows independent remote adjustment not possible on other shocks. External adjustment eradicates the need for expensive custom tunes and allows easy setup according to track or weather conditions.

Available Adjustments:

• Low-speed compression
• High-speed compression
• Low-speed rebound
• High-speed rebound
• Preload
• Spring rate
