DT Swiss R 232 ONE Remote Trunnion Shock

The DT Swiss R 232 ONE Remote Trunnion shock absorber has been specially designed for cross-country. Featuring a Trunnion mount, it is also equipped with the Remote system. This system allows the shock and fork to be connected to the same control lever, creating a modern and refined cockpit. It is also very practical, as the shock has three modes and can be adjusted directly from the handlebars. This allows you to adapt to any situation; DRIVE mode helps you tackle difficult climbs by offering an optimal balance between damping and traction. OPEN mode, meanwhile, ensures maximum damping and is particularly effective for descents. LOCK mode, on the other hand, offers the power transfer required for sprints.

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 level of compression. 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.
