Kitsuma Air

Kitsuma revives ride!

My Trek Fuel EX feels like a new bike after swapping in the Kitsuma! Northern NJ can go from chunk rock gardens to flowy fun in a turn. Being able to tweak the settings to match the days terrain is super easy.

Five stars

This is probably the only shock I've ridden that is equivalent or perhaps better than an X2 or ttx2. I'm amazed at how low pressure I run to achieve sag. The dials work fine and I'm warming up to them vs a tooled adjustment. I did feel like the climb setting was a bit too firm for my liking but the damping is so consistent that there's no need for it. I will see if they can make the climb setting softer when I'm due for service. This shock is probably the most consistent feeling air shock I've ridden. It is truly a remarkable product and anyone that likes a higher volume air shock will realize it is one of the best.

Great shock

Very hard to install volume spacers! Easy concept but very hard to pop the canister off/on! Much better shock than the fox float x2. Working/reliability so much better. Don’t know what it is but it always leaks oil when everything is back together. Not sure if a seal doesn’t quite get seated properly when reinstalling but have had the same issue with both shocks that I have owned.
