DT Swiss R 232 ONE Lever Trunnion Shock

The DT Swiss R 232 ONE Lever Trunnion shock absorber has been designed for Cross-Country use. Effective on all types of terrain, it improves your bike’s efficiency and ensures gains in both performance and comfort.

Thanks to its INCONTROL system, you can adjust the shock and its compression settings to ensure versatility on all terrains. No longer need to worry about descending with the OPEN mode, which provides maximum damping, whilst the DRIVE mode allows you to tackle the most technical climbs, and the LOCK mode offers optimal power transfer during flat-out sprints. As you can see, whatever the course profile or the challenges of the race, the R 232 ONE Lever Trunnion will help you overcome them.

Before purchasing, please check the compatibility of your frame’s wheelbase and travel.

Technologies in detail:

- INCONTROL: The INCONTROL system opens and closes the CHV and CBV channels to regulate oil flow and, consequently, the compression level. The suspension can thus be customised for all conditions. This system offers 3 settings: Open, Drive and Lock. Open mode is ideal for descents, providing ultra-responsive and precise damping. Drive is the intermediate setting. It absorbs the biggest terrain movements whilst maintaining firmness for optimised pedalling efficiency. Finally, Lock mode stiffens the whole system for total power transfer.
- LINEAR: The R 232 ONE is based on a dual-chamber system regulated by a bypass. When the shock is fully extended, the pressure in the positive chamber is lower than that in the negative chamber. The initial travel is low, whilst traction and sensitivity are perfectly optimised. On compression, the piston moves over the chamber’s bypass. When the piston is on the bypass, this ensures the pressure in the chambers is balanced. As the shock is compressed further, only the air in the positive chamber is compressed and the negative chamber is depressurised.
