This is a different beast, it’s actually an air spring inside a coil shock, quite an interesting solution that should allow lots more frames to handle a coil shock, even the more linear ones that would typically struggle. As for the damper side, twin tube dampers do also have IFP to deal with oil displaced during compression (only part of the oil returns via the second tube, some of it heads into the IFP…).

Very cool that CC has put this together. My concern is the spring contacting the shock stanchion because of flex / vibration, causing the air chamber to develop problems holding air. I realize it’s relatively low pressure (at sag, anyway), but at max travel those seals still have to hold air. Any nicks on the stanchion would make that tough.

Could be wrong, but I think the air seals are on the inside, sealing against the ID of the "RAMP Tube".

Reminds me of my very old 66 which coil springs with air preload. Still one of the best forks imo, super curious to try this on my Rail

Looks cool, but is it good for Enduro™? Also seems a little bummer that they force you to 1x but then use a 73mm threaded shell. Say what you will... This #HatersGonnaHate
