DT Swiss Shock model 2023

The R 232 ONE Trunnion remote ready rear shock by DT Swiss with a Trunnion mount

The R232 ONE rear shock from DT Swiss is designed for cross-country frames with a trunnion mount and is remote ready. This means you connect it to the double-stage handlebar remote. In this case you only require one control lever for the rear shock and suspension fork, which keeps your cockpit particularly clean. The damper has three compression modes, so you can choose the right setting for every riding situation. For downhill riding, the OPEN mode gives you maximum cushioning and traction. The DRIVE mode allows enough damping for uneven surfaces and still allows you good propulsion. Due to the LineAir spring system, in this mode the traction increases linearly, which makes for a smooth ride. The LOCK mode is the most efficient way to convert your power into speed. But in this case you have practically no damping.

Technology:

InControl Damping System
The damping or rather the compression speed can be adjusted to the respective driving situation. This is done in three stages: OPEN, DRIVE and LOCK.
In the OPEN mode, the damping system reacts to all unevenness in a precisely tuned manner. It is therefore best suited for downhill sections. It can be individually adjusted to the rider's weight and tyre pressure via 13 fine gradations.
The DRIVE mode reacts to coarse unevenness, but otherwise hardly allows any energy loss via the damping system. This setting is therefore recommended on technical sections and easy uphill sections.
In the LOCK mode, you receive a rigid fork, which allows the pedalling force to be effectively converted into propulsion, as there is no loss of energy.
The three compression modes are set via oil channels which are opened in different ways and thus allow the various levels of damping. In LOCK mode the oil channels are completely closed; to prevent damage in case of hard impacts, a blow-off valve opens.

LineAir Suspension System
A low breakaway force allows early traction. As a result, the traction increases linearly in the mid-range and achieves a much steeper progression in the end range, which allows a strong compression without bottoming out. This is achieved through a spring system consisting of air chambers, where the pressure in the negative air chamber is higher than in the positive air chamber when fully rebounded.
