DT Swiss R 232 ONE Lever Standard shock absorber

The DT Swiss R 232 ONE Lever Standard is a high-end shock absorber designed for cross-country use. Whether jumping over an obstacle, climbing a technical section or sprinting, it is versatile and can handle any challenge.The INCONTROL system allows you to adjust the shock absorber and its compression level to three different settings to ensure optimal performance on any terrain. Equipped with the Remote Lever, you can switch from OPEN mode to DRIVE mode in seconds. The former provides maximum shock absorption for high-speed descents, while the latter allows you to climb the most technical ascents. Not to mention LOCK mode, which offers optimal power transfer and is very effective during sprints.

- INCONTROL: The INCONTROL system opens and closes the CHV and CBV channels to regulate oil flow and, consequently, the level of compression. This allows the suspension to be tailored to suit all circumstances. The system offers three settings: Open, Drive and Lock. Open mode is ideal for descents, with ultra-responsive and precise damping. Drive is the intermediate position. It absorbs the biggest bumps while maintaining firmness for optimised pedalling efficiency. Finally, Lock mode stiffens everything for total power transfer.
- LINEAIR: The R 232 ONE is based on a dual-chamber system regulated by a bypass. When the shock absorber is fully relaxed, the pressure in the positive chamber is lower than that in the negative chamber. The take-off force is low, and traction and sensitivity are perfectly optimised. During compression, the piston passes over the chamber bypass. When the piston is on the bypass, it balances the pressure in the chambers. When the shock absorber is compressed further, only the air in the positive chamber is compressed and the negative chamber is depressurised.
