You’ll find the best components and replacement parts for your bike at Escapa. Dt Swiss R 232 ONE DU Remote - Air Shock: THE XC SHOCK. The R 232 ONE’s LINÉ-AIR damping curve, optimized for cross country, lets you float over root beds and provides enough end-stroke progression to eliminate any hesitation and let you go full speed during the race. The three-position INCONTROL damping adjustment gives you the perfect compression setting for any situation: LOCK for sprints on smooth surfaces, Drive for technical climbs, and Open Mode so you can forget about the brake levers on descents.
CROSS-COUNTRY-SPECIFIC DAMPING CURVE
The R 232 Uno uses a dual-air-chamber system that automatically balances itself via a bypass. When the shock is fully extended, the pressure in the negative-side air chamber is higher than in the positive-side air chamber. This reduces kick-in resistance and delivers perfect traction and sensitivity. When the shock is compressed, the piston moves over the air chamber bypass. When the piston is positioned over the bypass, it ensures pressure equalization between the positive and negative air chambers. As the shock compresses further, only the air in the positive air chamber is compressed, and the negative air chamber is depressurized.
LINEAIR
The goal was to design a lightweight, high-performance shock that offers low initial compression force, a mid-stroke that allows the shock to float over bumps on smooth trails, and a progressive end stroke to prevent abrupt bottoming out. We’ve achieved this through the position of the bypass and the volume of the air chambers.
INSTANT DAMPING ADJUSTMENT
Incontrol technology adjusts oil flow by opening and closing the HSC and LSC channels, thereby adjusting compression. This allows you to tailor your setup to any situation. With its different positions, Instant Damping Adjustment offers the perfect compression setting: Open for descents, Drive* for technical climbs, and LOCK for sprints on smooth sections.
INCONTROL
The INCONTROL damping system is based on a state-of-the-art bidirectional low- and high-speed system. During slow compression, oil flows through the non-adjustable low-speed compression (LSC) channel. During fast compression, oil also flows through the oil channel of the high-speed compression (HSC) valve. In Open mode, oil flows through both the low- and high-speed compression channels.
Open mode offers sensitivity and, therefore, plenty of traction.
In Drive mode, all the oil flows through the HSC channel. The HSC check valves open at a specific force, resulting in greater compression damping that ensures less energy loss while providing traction on uphill sections of uneven terrain.
Drive mode is not available for the R 535 shock absorber. When “LOCK” mode is engaged, a valve closes the LSC and HSC oil channels. It is ideal for acceleration on smooth sections where maximum power transfer is key. A relief valve protects the rider and their equipment from unexpected impacts.
