DT Swiss R 232 ONE Remote Standard Shock

The DT Swiss R 232 ONE Remote Standard shock absorber is a top-of-the-range model designed to meet the demands of cross-country riders. Its aluminium construction makes it both lightweight and durable, whilst also delivering high performance and versatility. Thanks to its three modes, you can adjust the shock’s compression settings to ensure it adapts to all types of terrain. Whether on the flat, climbing or descending, the LOCK, DRIVE and OPEN modes provide everything you need for a smooth ride.

This shock absorber is also a Remote model. This means it can be connected to the same control lever you use for your fork, provided it is compatible. A single lever for multiple components will allow you to achieve a clean cockpit without any unnecessary additions.

Equipped with a standard mounting system, please check the centre-to-centre distance and travel compatibility of your frame before purchasing.

Technologies:

- 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 any situation. This system offers 3 settings: Open, Drive and Lock. Open mode is ideal for descents, offering ultra-responsive and precise damping. Drive is the intermediate setting. It absorbs the biggest bumps 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.
