The Cane Creek Tigon is the world’s first Air-Charged Coil shock, merging the ground-hugging sensitivity of a coil shock with the mid-stroke and bottom-out support of an air shock. It delivers two distinct ride characteristics in one shock, allowing riders to adapt instantly to different terrain and riding styles.
From steep, technical rock gardens to bike-park jump lines, Tigon tracks the ground with unmatched grip while maintaining the support needed for big hits and aggressive riding. One bike, one shock — ready for everything.
FEATURES
True Coil Sensitivity
Exceptional small-bump compliance
Maximum traction and planted feel on technical terrain
Progressive Air Support (RAMP Tube)
Integrated air-charged RAMP Tube system
Progression easily adjusted with a standard shock pump
Add air for more support or remove air for a more linear, coil-like feel
Smoother Ride Quality
Coil-sprung performance delivers noticeably smoother tracking on rough trails
Reduced rider fatigue on long descents
20–35% More Progression
Significantly more bottom-out resistance than traditional coil shocks
Confidence-inspiring support for jumps and hard compressions
Near-Zero Stiction
Internal negative coil spring design
Extremely low breakaway force, even at low air pressures
The lowest stiction performance in the Cane Creek shock lineup
Increased Strength & Durability
Oversized damper shaft
RAMP Tube provides additional lateral bracing
Ideal for frames using clevis (yoke) or trunnion mounts
DB Twin Tube Damping
Independent oil circuits for consistent damping
Exceptional tunability and fade-free performance
Hand Built in the USA
Designed, tested, and hand-assembled in Fletcher, North Carolina
Built by riders, for riders
From Rock Gardens to Hard-Packed Jump Lines
Tigon redefines suspension categories by combining coil sensitivity with air-shock support. Cane Creek’s engineering team developed the world’s first DB Twin Tube air-charged coil shock, allowing riders to fine-tune ride feel in seconds.
The RAMP Tube enables quick adjustments to increase pop, add mid-stroke support, or maximize plushness depending on terrain and riding style.
Sensitivity or Support? Choose Both.
Supreme Grip
Coil sensitivity is always present, regardless of air pressure
Removing air transforms Tigon into a more linear, traditional coil shock
Ideal for steep, slippery, and highly technical trails where traction is critical
