Kitsuma is built to descend. 



Kitsuma turns your bike into a downhill bike. It hugs the ground on the roughest and steepest trails. It gives you maximum grip, a planted feel, and allows you to go faster thanks to a more personalized tune. It’s the only 4-way adjustable shock that’s tunable by hand – making it easier to move through the setup process and get back to ripping down the trail faster than before.



This second generation Kitsuma shock has updates that make it easier to tune and more reliable than ever.



Second generation Kitsuma updates:




  • Single-turn dials on all adjustments with laser-etched position marks for easier, more intuitive tuning.

  • Easy-turn dials feature machined grooves for precise feel

  • Higher Max HSR damping : Greater control on big hits, hard compressions, take offs & landings

  • Lower Min HSC damping : More plush on abrupt impacts and chunky trails

  • Updated valve seats and damper tube material for greater reliability

  • Updated, modern graphics match rest of current Cane Creek shock line

  • 2 colorways : Black/Gold, Silver (limited qty at launch)



Set Up Made Easy

Tired of getting bucked over the bars, or feeling your rear wheel skitter and break traction when the trail gets rough? Getting the best out of any shock requires a decent amount of tuning, and the second generation Kitsuma makes that tuning easier and more immediate with the aid of updated dials on all 4 damper adjustments. Each dial now offers a large range of adjustment contained in a single 360* turn with marks that denote each position of the adjuster. Reading your shock settings is now as easy as reading the hands on a clock.   



No hunting for tools, and no ‘counting clicks’ to see where you are.  



Less time tuning – more time riding.

 



Climb Switch

OPEN, CLIMB, LOCK. Our patented Climb Switch technology controls both compression and rebound movement at the same time, effectively eliminating pedal bob. It shores up the shock from both “ends”, instead of just one – but still leaves just enough freedom for the shock to move over significant bumps in the trail. This means that you’ll feel supported and efficient, while still having access to crucial traction when you need it.  



The Kitsuma Climb Switch has an additional position that locks out the shock entirely for long, self-shuttled climbing days or paved rides to the trail head. It’s the best-pedaling gravity shock out there.

Take the guess work out of the flow!
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I got this because when my wife makes espresso, it's watery. When i make it, it's fine. We needed a controlled Tampering method so we both do the same job. This is heavy, and being able to use the whole hand instead of fingers, not much effort is needed. Since we purchased this, we were able to make consistent espresso shots for sure.

Not as good as I expected
When it first came, the box fell apart as I was taking it out, and a lot of some kind of dirt or sand kept falling out all over my table and floor. I had the take the entire thing apart and thoroughly wash it. After drying age reassembling it, I tried it on my portafilter that came with my Breville Barista Express, but, somehow, it doesn't always make the tamping level. You would think with the ridge that rests on the side of the portafilter that it would force it to remain level, but, somehow, it doesn't, at least not consistently. It also has varying lengths (heights, or depths), and a single spring tension, so you may still over tamping or under-tamp. I was expecting it would have a censor that would just detect once it reached 30 lbs of force and cut off after that, similar to a torque screwdriver, but that's not what this is. I'll still give it 3 stars because, despite the problems mentioned above, it at least produces some amount of consistency, even if that isn't measurable; but, I can't give it 5 stars because of those issues mentioned above.

This is the one.
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
As an el Supremo Coffee Geek, I've wasted money on lots of different tampers. Save your money and buy this one or it's equivalent. This thing is heavy duty, solid, well-made, self-leveling, tamps at 30 pounds and is fool-proof even for fools. Also, it's a palm tamper meaning more fun and more satisfying to use as you prep the puck for your morning buzz. Buy it. You will thank me.

Super easy to use and takes the guess-work out of getting even pressure on the grounds
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black, Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I have been using a hand tamper for many years and have a good idea of the pressure I am applying to the grounds in the portafilter. I honestly considered spring tampers to be a bit silly. But this tamper really does take the guess-work out of pressing the coffee grounds. The shroud helps guide the press so that pressure is applied even and flat across the surface. With the manual tamper, there will be some play when pressing, or some unevenness in pressure. This is especially true when cranking out many espressos during a breakfast party with friends. Having the spring tamper makes quick work of turning out a lot of coffees with consistency. There are no instructions for taking this tamper apart to clean inside, and you may not really need to do that very often. After each use, just pull back the shroud (the black piece that moves up and down) and wipe off the tamper (the shiny steel part). This will help prevent grounds from working their way inside. If you do want to take it apart, it’s easy. Pull back the shroud and unscrew the tamper. It will come apart into three pieces. Wipe the pieces off and reassemble. Super quick and easy. This tamper is very heavy. My scale shows 656 g (about a pound and a half). It fits the portafilter exactly, with no slop. Just place on top of grounds and press!. Don’t even worry about pressure, just push down all the way. Overall I had fun using this tamper versus my manual one. And since I make myself a cappuccino very early in the morning, I don’t have to be very awake to get a good pack on the grounds and get my coffee fast!
