Adjuster Basics
DB Kitsuma features tool free adjustments with
all adjusters clearly labeled on the shock. Turning
an adjuster counter clockwise will open the circuit
which allows more oil flow. (open compression = soft
compression / open rebound = fast return speed)
Turning an adjuster clockwise will close the circuit
and restrict oil flow. (closed compression = firm
compression / closed rebound = slow return speed).

“Climb”
setting
The lever closes the Low
Speed circuit of the shock in
this setting, creating a firmer
feel and stops the shock from
bobbing in pedaling scenarios.
This setting is designed for on-
trail climbing support where the
shock is still active during fast
impacts (i.e.. fallen log, roots,
rocks) but removes the rider
influenced soft bump absorption.
3 -
“Firm”
setting
The lever closes both Low Speed
and High Speed circuits of the
shock in this setting, effectively
stopping the flow of oil through
the shock. This setting is
designed for long pavement or
gravel climbs where the uphill
lasts hours and you don’t want
the shock taking away pedaling
efficiencies.
